RUSTIC 

ouse  Furnishing 


H' 


Artistic    House    Furnishing    is   our 
Specialty. 

We  always  lead  the  Furniture  Trade  in  newness  of  design, 
in  excellence  of  manufacture,  and  in  the  very  low  prices  at 
which   we  sell  the  best   goods. 

"TONY"     CARPETS. 

FURNITURE  and  CARPETS  go  naturally  together.  We  give  to  the  Carpet 
trade  constant  study  anil  attention,  which  it  does  not  receive  when  run  as  a  side  issue  to 
some  other  kind  of  business  to  which  it  hears  no  natural  relation.  We  simply  state  what 
everybody  already  admits,  when  we  say.  no  bouse  in  the  city  can  show  so  clean,  so 
stylish,  so  well-assorted  and  so  cheap  a  line  of  new  Carpets  as  that  which  we  have  on 
exhibition  for  Our  Trade.  We  haven't  an  old  piece  of  carpet  in  our  entire  stock,  and  there 
are  none  of  the  most  celebrated  makes  of  carpets  but  of  which  we  carry  a  full  stock. 
Inferior  makes  of  these  goods  never  find  their  way  into  our  carpet  room,  merely  because 
they  cost  a  little  less  at  wholesale,  and  therefore  pay  a  little  bigger  profit  at  retail.  Quality 
is  always  the  first  consideration  with  us,  and  should  be  with  our  c 


BABY     CARRIAGES. 

This  is  another  line  of  goods  in  which  we  are  the  most  extensive  dealers  in  the  State. 
Put  all  the  other  stocks  of  Baby  Carriages  in  this  city  together,  and  you  would  not  have, 
even  then,  anything  like  the  assortment  of  these  goods  we  carry.  Our  prices  on  carriages. 
as  on  everything  else  we  sell,  are  but  little  above  the  manufacturers*  prices  to  us. 

TOILET     SETS. 

We  keep  constantly   in  slock   over  200  different  styles  or  patterns  of  Toilet  Sets. 

LAMPS. 

We   carry  a   larger   line  of  all   kinds  of   Lamps  than  all  our  competitors  combined.

JApYErTTE:    |nD., 


TO  THE 

ALUMNI  AND  ALUMN/E 

OF 

Purdue  University 

this 

souvenir 

IS 
DEDICATED. 


JOHN    PURDUE 


No  gleaming  shaft  nor  granite  block, 

Nor  sculptured  pile  of  cold,  insensate  stone, 

No  chiseled  epitaph  of  empty  praise, 

Marks  his  last  resting  place. 

Himself  without  a  home,  he  /-eared  a  place 

Where  Science  might  abide  and  Learning  dwell; 

Jl  'here  .  Irt  should  flourish  long,  and  hold  her  court, 

And  grant  to  every  worshiper  his  meed. 


He  sleeps  —  and  tow1  ring  here  above  his  couch, 
The  products  of  his  genius  and  his  toil 

Speak  louder  far  than  wrought  and  figured  stone, 
Of  life  well  lived  and  labor  nobly  done. 


">HE  SOUVENIR  is  presented  to  a 
discriminating  public  with  edito- 
rial fear  and  reportorial  trembling.  It 
has  not  been  prepared  in  answer  to  any  clamorous  public  demand, 
bnt  with  the  single  purpose  of  showing  to  students,  alumni  and 
the  general  public  what  a  promising  infant  Purdue  University  is, 
upon  the  occasion  of  the  fifteenth  anniversary  of  the  first  commence- 
ment. The  book  and  its  contents  have  a  local  coloring,  and  will 
consequently  be  most  appreciated  by  those  who  are  or  have  been 
connected  with  the  University.  At  the  same  time  there  is  much 
that  will  be  of  interest  to  all.  An  attempt  has  been  made  to  avoid 
trespassing  upon  the  territory  occupied  by  the  college  annual,  and 
the  editors  hope  that  they  have  succeeded. 

The  proper  celebration  of  anniversaries  is  praiseworthy,  and  in 
some  cases  approaches  a  duty.  When  the  return  of  a  loved  anni- 
versary brings  with  it  added  cause  for  self-congratulation,  the 
observance  becomes  a  pleasant  task.  The  Souvenir  has  been  pre- 
pared under  the  auspices  of  one  of  the  many  college  organizations, 
but  it  is  nevertheless  representative  of  all  organizations,  classes 
and  departments.  There  has  been  no  acid  in  the  editorial  ink,  and 
certainly  nothing  has  been  inserted  which  can  give  offense  to  any

one.  The  editors  beg  leave  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  many 
favors  at  the  hands  of  alumni  and  members  of  the  faculty.  Their 
kindly  and  enthusiastic  assistance  has  been  of  nineh  value  in  the 
preparation  of  the  hook. 

The  greater  part  of  the  art  work  in  these  pages  was  done  by  II. 
II.  Vinton,  '85,  and  J.  T.  McCutcheon,  '89,  although  the  editors  are 
also  under  obligations  to  A.  B.  Rogers,  '89,  and  Messrs.  Taylor, 
Powers  and  Schniedtgen,  artists  for  Chicago  newspapers. 

The  Editors. 


PURDUE  UNIVERSITY. 


0\V  may  we  tell  the  story  of  Purdue's 
trials  and  triumphs  ?  To  the  old 
student  who,  in  the  class  rooms 
and  on  the  campus  of  his  beloved 
alma  mater  has  passed  the  hap- 
piest days  of  his  life,  what  mat- 
ters it  that  "Purdue  University 
had  its  origin  in  an  act  of  Con- 
gress dated  July  2,  1862,"  etc. 
The  catalogue  has  told  that  story 
over  and  over, and  even  the  editors 
of  the  Dibris  allowed  the  state- 
ment to  creep  into  their  otherwise 
excellent  publication.  To  say 
that  "the  endowment  fund 
amounts  to  $340,000,  which  is  in- 
vested in  non-negotiable  Indiana 
state  bonds,  bearing  interest  at  5 
per  cent,"  is  the  statement  of  an 
undoubted  fact,  but  it  is  a  fact 
which  has  been  persistently  poked 
at  the  public  for  ten  years.  The 
public  would  rather  hear  from  the 
lips  of  the  old  man  who  occasionally  strolls  about  the  campus,  the  story 
of  living  long  enough  to  see  the  wild  limiting  grounds  of  his  youth  con- 
verted into  a  home  of  Learning. 

When  we  put  into  type  the  statement  that  "On  May  the  6th,  1869,  the 
legislature  accepted  a  donation  of  $150,000  from  John  Purdue,"  what 
adequate  idea  does  it  give  of  the  great  heart  and  the  unselfish  purpose 
which  actuated  that  magnificent  gift?  That  offering  and  subsequent 
offerings  represented  the  life  earnings  of  a  busy  and  earnest  man,  not 
money  extorted  in  the  practice  of  usury  or  made  by  questionable  specula- 


./    SOUVENIR. 

tions.  John  Purdue,  by  application  and  toil,  amassed  a  fortune  and  then 
willingly  gave  it  up,  in  the  hope  that  the  young  men  of  the  future  might 
enjoy  the  advantages  which  unkind  Fortune  denied  him.  The  people  of 
Tippecanoe  county  caught  the  import  and  inspiration  of  John  Purdue's 
beneficence.  The  tangible  result  is  the  Purdue  University  of  to-day; 
the  development,  not  the  ultimate  development  of  one  man's  idea.  It 
has  lived  for  sixteen  years;  not  always  strong,  but  ever  hopeful.  Ene- 
mies have  assailed  the  objects  and  methods  of  the  University,  but  they 
have  been  met  upon  the  threshold  of  debate  by  staunch  and  unfaltering 
friends,  whose  belief  in  Purdue's  future  was  almost  religious  in  its  intens- 
ity. The  state  was  tardy  at  times  in  its  obligations  to  the  struggling 
college,  but  made  amends  for  past  negligence  by  an  enthusiastic  and 
unanimous  declaration  of  its  future  support  and  encouragement.  The 
enemies  of  old  have  gracefully  come  over;  the  evil  prophets  have  taken 
up  more  promising  subjects,  and  on  the  occasion  of  the  fifteenth  anniver- 
sary of  the  first  commencement,  Purdue  is  complacent,  self-reliant,  con- 
fident. The  pledged  faith  of  the  government  and  the  state  relieves  all 
anxiety  for  the  future.  Five  hundred  students  throng  the  halls  and  lab- 
oratories, instead  of  the  sixty  of  1875.  P'ifteen  years  ago  there  were  three 
college  building?;  now  there  are  seven.  Fifteen  years  ago  the  meager 
attendance  was  largely  from  Tippecanoe  county  and  adjoining  counties; 
to-day  every  section  of  the  United  States  is  represented,  and  there  are 
matriculates  from  Spain  and  Japan.  Then  there  was  but  one  course  of 
study,  and  the  curriculum  was  the  subject  of  numerous  experiments;  to-day 
there  are  seven  distinct  schools. 

Why  continue  the  antithesis?  Fifteen  years  ago,  Purdue  University 
consisted  of  three  buildings  partly  furnished,  a  faculty  of  six  persons,  a 
nebulous  curriculum,  a  little  apparatus,  sixty  students,  and  a  grand  idea. 
For  an  explanation  of  what  it  is  to-day  we  commend  to  your  attention  the 
following  pages. 

To  students  and  alumni  it  will  not  linger  in  the  memory  as  an  aggre- 
gation of  schools,  supervised  by  a  competent  faculty.  To  them  it  will 
ever  seem  a  home,  a  place  endeared  by  pleasant  associations;  the  scene  of 
battles  fairly  fought,  victories  modestly  won  and  defeats  bravely  met. 
The  spoken  name  of  the  dear  alma  mater  will  bring  to  the  student's  mind, 
not  so  much  the  recollection  of  integral  and  differential  calculus  and  other 
forms  of  mathematical  diversion,  as  the  gratifying  memories  of  class  pic- 
nics, society  spreads,  class  day  contests,  faculty  receptions,  junior  entertain- 
ments, and  that  red  letter  day  at  the  Iloosier  Athens,  when  the  brave  Wa 
bash  eleven  went  down  before  our  giants,  shrouded  in  the  gloom  of  defeat.

SCHOOL  OF 
MECHANICAL    ENGINEERING. 


the  last  ten  years  the  number  of  techni- 
cal schools  has  increased  ten  fold.  We 
do  not  have  to  look  far  for  the  cause.  In 
every  city,  town  and  hamlet  are  spring- 
ing up  machine  shops  and  foundries. 
Every  article  around  us  is  machine  made.- 
Whence  came  the  designers  and  con- 
structors of  these  shops  and  this  ma- 
chinery ? 

Formerly  the  designers,  proprietors 
or  superintendents  arose  from  the  ap- 
prentices, who  spent  years  in  the  shops  hammering 
iron,  in  order  to  learn  how  to  design  steam  engines. 
For  every  hour's  instruction  they  received,  they 
worked  a  week  for  the  proprietor.  It  took  years  to 
learn  what  systematic  training  would  have  given  in 
months.  The  modern  method  of  education  is  that 
pursued  by  the  technical  schools.  Purdue  Univer- 
sity has  shops  filled  with  full-sized  tools  from  the 
best  machine  makers  in  the  country.  Students  are  kept  in  these  schools 
just  as  long  as  they  are  receiving  an  education  therein,  and  no  longer. 
For  this  reason  the  shops  are  not  made  a  source  of  revenue,  a  few  articles 
only  being  sold,  to  show  the  students  that  their  work,  when  perfect,  has  a 
market  value. 

During  the  first  two  years  the  student  receives  instruction  in  the  pat- 
tern shop,  the  foundry  and  the  machine  shop.  He  is  not  put  in  these 
shops  like  a  machine  from  which  the  maximum  possible  work  is  to  be 


./  SOUVENIR. 

obtained,  but  as  a  student  to  be  instructed,  and  he  is  given  just  as  much 
as  he  will  absorb.  Parallel  with  the  shop  course  he  studies  mathematics, 
English  and  kindred  subjects. 

During  the  Junior  year  the  student  learns  to  analyze  the  machinery 
that  has  been  surrounding  him.  He  finds  that  a  lathe  is  made  up  of 
such  simple  elements  as  pulleys,  spur  wheels,  racks  and  screws.  He 
learns  how  to  design  these  and  other  elements,  and  the  method  of  arrang- 
ing them  so  that  he  can  transmit  any  required  power,  with  any  required 
motion  in  any  machine.  With  other  studies  chemistry  is  taken  up,  and, 
by  election,  it  may  be  pursued  in  the  Senior  year,  thus  obtaining  the 
knowledge  possessed  by  the  technical  chemist  in  any  of  our  large  refiner- 
ies or  mills.  In  the  Senior  year  the  student  takes  up  the  laws  governing 
steam  and  its  formation,  boilers  and  their  construction,  engines  and  their 
management.  He  designs  various  kinds  of  valves,  and  at  least  one  com- 
plete engine.  He  learns  the  laws  governing  the  strength  of  materials  of 
construction,  and  a  short  additional  course  would  fit  him  as  an  architect. 

The  laboratories  are  fitted  with  engines,  testing  machines,  dynamom- 
eters and  other  appliances,  so  that  theory  and  practice  are  combined  in 
the  most  approved  manner.  In  the  end.  the  memory  has  been  strength- 
ened, the  eye  and  hand  trained,  but,  above  all,  the  reasoning  power  has 
been  developed  to  the  highest  possible  extent.

SCHOOL  OF  SCIENCE. 


DEPARTMENT    OK    BIOLOGY. 


HE  special  object  of  this  department  is 
Till  to  glve  thorough  training  in  biolog- 
"*  ical  science.  It  is  with  this  end  in 
view  that  the  laboratories  have  been 
equipped  and  the  courses  arranged. 
The  required  biological  studies  begin 
in  the  third  term  of  the  Freshman 
year  in  the  School  of  Science  and  Ag- 
riculture, and  are  continued  through 
the  Sophomore  year.  In  the  Junior  and  Senior  years  the  subjects  are 
elective,  with  the  exception  of  human  physiology.  The  instruction 
throughout  the  course  is  in  the  form  of  lectures  and  laboratory  work, 
supplemented  largely  by  collateral  readings.  It  is  impossible  to  give  a 
clear  idea  of  the  character  of  the  work  done  within  the  limits  of  this  arti- 
cle. Its  extent  may  be  measured  somewhat  from  the  fact  that  the  stu- 
dent in  botany  has  set  apart  for  his  study  870  hours,  which,  with  the 
double  electives  in  the  Junior  and  Senior  year,  may  be  increased  to  1,478 
hours.     In  zoology  the  time  assigned  is  no  hours  less. 

The  equipment  of  the  laboratories,  apart  from  the  museum  and  her- 
barium, consists  of  forty-three  compound  microscopes,  chiefly  of  the  Beck 
and  Bausch  &  Lornb  makes,  with  batteries  of  objectives  ranging  from 
three-inch  to  one-twentieth-inch;  micrometers;  camera  lucida;  polarizers 
and  all  the  attachments  ordinarily  required  for  laboratory  work;  a  Bausch 
&  Lomb  microtome;  twelve  hand  microtomes,  water  baths  and  all  the 
apparatus  needed  for  preparation  of  material  for  advanced  histological 
work;  the  simpler  apparatus  for  experimental  work  in  plant  and  animal 
physiology;  thirty-six  dissecting  microscopes  of  the  Rothrock  type,  thirty 
dissecting  sets,   injecting  apparatus,  etc. ;   in  brief,  a  fair  equipment  foi

work  in  all  branches  coining  within  the  scope  of  the  course.  The  labora- 
tories and  museums  occupy  five  rooms  in  the  Main  Building,  and  are 
fitted  in  the  regulation  manner. 

The  department  is  greatly  strengthened  through  the  presence  and  by 
the  assistance  of  the  various  specialists  connected  with  the  staff  of  the 
Experiment  Station.  In  practical  biological  training,  laboratory  work, 
extent  of  course  and  equipment,  this  department  compares  favorably  with 
any  in  the  West.  The  rapidly  increasing  number  of  electives  is,  perhaps, 
the  best  proof  of  its  value.

chemical  department. 

No  regular  student  of  Purdue  escapes  a  more  or  less  extended  so- 
journ in  the  chemical  laboratory.  Usually  it  is  the  Junior  who  first  tastes 
the  delights  of  this  retreat.  The  laboratory,  half  hidden  behind  the  trees, 
engine  house,  hall,  Peirce  conservatory,  etc.,  is  not  a  prominent  feature 
in  the  Purdue  landscape.  It  lies  apart  from  the  daily  haunts  of  the 
Freshman  and  Sophomore,  and,  when  in  September  the  Junior  directs  his 
steps  thither,  it  is,  literally  and  figuratively,  to  an  unknown  realm  that 
he  comes.  The  building  itself  is  not  imposing;  the  style  of  architecture 
may  safely  be  called  severe  without  danger  of  hurting  any  one's  feelings. 
The  revolving  affair  upon  the  roof  is  not  a  graphic  chemical  formula,  as 
some  might  suppose,  but  an  apparatus  for  grinding  up  the  wind  and  sup- 
plying it  by  telegraph  to  the  Experiment  Station.  The  funny  little  boxes 
upon  the  outside  of  the  windows  are  not  bird  houses,  nor  are  they  pro- 
vided for  the  confinement  of  unruly  students.  They  are  ventilators,  in- 
tended for  keeping  the  air  of  outdoors  pure.  If  one  puts  a  very  bad 
smelling  or  fuming  substance  in  these  ventilators,  only  traces  will  escape 
into  the  open  air.      In  this  way  the  atmosphere  of  Purdue  is  kept  pure. 

At  the  rear  of  the  building  one  may  observe,  without  severe  effort, 
a  structure  which  gives  the  impression  that  the  laboratory,  in  the  process 
of  growth,  encountered  an  obstacle  and  flattened  itself  against  the  gas 
house.  This  represents  the  Renaissance  period  of  the  history  of  the  build- 
ing, it  being  an  addition  lately  provided  for  the  School  of  Pharmacy. 

Within  the  building  on  the  main  floor  one  finds  general  and  special 
laboratories,  with  desks  for  eighty  students,  store  room,  combustion  room 
and  director's  office  and  laboratory.  Here  the  Juniors  wrest  Nature's  se- 
crets from  her  grasp  three  days  in  the  week,  and  the  Seniors,  having  be- 
come more  expert  at  (w)resting,  are  able  to  bother  the  old  lady  during 


./   SOUVENIR. 

four  days  of  the  week.  Some  others  there  are  who  struggle  with  great 
problems  at  all  hours,  and  so  one  always  meets  with  strange  sights  and 
sounds  and  smells  within  these  precincts.  A  flight  of  stairs  leads  up  to 
the  exalted  regions  where  students  may  commune  with  the  Spirit  oi 
Chemistry.  As  many  as  forty  may  often  be  observed  here,  communing 
away  with  pencils  and  paper  with  great  application.  They  do  this  be- 
cause they  love  to.  Other  objects  of  interest  on  this  floor  are  the  appa- 
ratus room,  containing  lecture  and  experimental  appliances,  and  the  bal- 
ance room,  supplied  with  analytical  balances. 

The  history  of  this  somewhat  battered  and  dingy  but  still  convenient 
laboratory  is  full  of  interest  and  merit.  Beneath  its  roof  were  born  and 
nurtured  the  departments  of  physics  and  mechanics.  The  building  itself 
was  one  of  the  first  to  be  erected  on  the  campus,  and  the  department  is 
one  of  the  oldest.  Prof.  H.  \V.  Wiley  was  the  first  occupant  of  the  chair 
of  chemistry,  and  builded  wisely  and  worked  industriously  during  his  ten 
years  of  service,  winning  for  himself  and  laboratory  lasting  recognition. 
Following  him  came  two  gentlemen,  who  left  only  less  lasting  impressions 
because  holding  their  positions  less  time  —  Prof.  R.  B.  Warder  and  Dr.  J. 
U.  Xef.  The  latter  was  succeeded  in  1889  by  Dr.  W.  K.  Stone.  The 
chemical  department  has  played  no  small  part  in  the  history  and  growth 
of  Purdue;  it  has  its  place,  too,  in  the  memories  of  the  alumni.  The  stu- 
dent of  the  present  forgets  all  this,  perhaps,  and  thinks,  "Sufficient  unto 
the  day  is  the  evil  thereof.''

SCHOOL  OF  ELECTRICAL  ENGINEERING. 


.  ERHAPS  no  department  of  Purdue  shows 
so  well  the  pushing,  progressive  charac- 
ter of  the  management  of  Purdue  as  this. 
Only  a  few  years  ago  and  the  extensive 
field  included  under  physics  was  given 
but  a  term  in  the  curriculum;  now  the 
largest  and  handsomest  building  on  the 
campus  has  been  erected  for  the  depart- 
ment, so  much  has  its  work  been  ex- 
tended. In  the  cabinets  of  this  depart- 
ment is  also  found  much  of  the  finest  and 
most  delicate  apparatus  of  the  University. 
The  School  of  Electrical  Engineer- 
ing, the  youngest  of  the  technical  schools 
of  Purdue,  has  had  the  advantage  of  finding  here  the  well  planned  and 
flourishing  course  in  mechanical  engineering.  This  furnished  the  basis 
of  just  such  a  course  as  the  practical  electrical  engineer  demands.  The 
methods  of  machine  work  and  principles  of  machinery,  the  theory  and 
practice  of  the  steam  engine,  etc. ,  are  as  important  to  the  electrical  as  to 
the  mechanical  engineer. 

The  home  of  the  electrical  department  needs  to  be  mentioned.  The 
Electrical  Building  is,  as  the  cut  shows,  an  imposing  three-story  building 
of  dressed  stone  and  brick.  Its  large  corner  tower  is  the  most  prominent 
object  on  the  Purdue  campus,  and  adds  largely  to  the  architectural  effect 
of  the  building.  The  interior  is  very  light  and  cheerful,  and  this  is  an 
element  adding  much  spirit  to  the  work.  The  wood  work  is  oil-varnished 
red  oak.  To  briefly  mention  the  rooms,  let  us  enter  through  the  taste- 
fully tiled  lobby,  into  the  large  central  hall.  Opening  from  this  is  an 
office,  a  recitation  room,  three  special  experiment  rooms,  a  large  general 
laboratory  and  a  dynamo  room.  The  special  experiment  rooms  are  fur- 
nished with  large  stone-capped  brick  pieces,  built  on  heavy  stone  but- 
tresses, independent  of  the  building,  so  as  to  be  free  from  vibration  for 


./   SOUVENIR. 

the  most  delicate  experimental  work.  Two  of  these  rooms  also  have 
brass  steam  fittings,  so  as  to  be  used  for  special  magnetic  work.  Off  from 
the  general  laboratory  is  a  work  shop,  fitted  with  carpenter  and  metal 
benches,  a  lathe,  tools,  etc.  Naturally  the  dynamo  room  is  a  center  of 
attraction.  The  various  systems  of  electric  lighting  and  power  are  here 
represented  by  dynamos,  motors  and  storage  batteries,  and  one  meets  the 
familiar  commercial  names  of  Kdison,  Brush,  Thomson-Houston,  Gramme, 
Sprague,  Baxter,  Julien,  etc.  The  motive  power  is  supplied  by  a  twenty- 
two-horse  power  Straight  Line  steam  engine. 

The  experimental  lecture  room  and  accompanying  apparatus  room 
are  on  the  second  floor.  To  enumerate  the  apparatus  would  take  more 
space  than  allotted  to  this  sketch.  Knough  that  it  is  all  of  the  latest  and 
best  designs,  and  admirably  adapted  to  the  work. 

The  aim  of  the  School  of  Electrical  Engineering  is  to  give  the  elec- 
trical engineer  the  most  complete  fitting  for  his  work.  The  problems  of 
electrical  engineering  are  of  the  most  varied  and  changing  character. 
There  are  rapid  changes  and  unexpected  advances  in  every  application  of 
electricity  to  commercial  life.  Probably  nothing  better  illustrates  this 
than  the  extended  use  of  alternating  currents  to  electric  lighting.  Only 
two  or  three  years  ago  alternating  currents  were  merely  a  matter  of  curi- 
osity to  the  practical  engineer.  Today  the  claim  is  made  for  the  alter- 
nating system  that  it  is  the  solution  for  the  difficulties  of  the  past.  In 
the  light  of  such  advances  the  Purdue  School  of  Electrical  Engineering 
has  chosen  the  wiser  part  in  making  its  course  a  complete  four  years' 
course,  making  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  facts  and  principles  of  elec- 
tricity and  magnetism  the  basis  upon  which  to  build  the  practical  work 
of  the  last  years  of  the  course.  The  Senior  year  is  devoted  to  the  discus- 
sion and  investigation,  experimentally  and  theoretically,  of  just  such 
problems  as  are  coming  up  before  the  professional  electrician.  The  de- 
signing of  electrical  appliances  and  apparatus  receives  special  attention. 
With  the  present  start  and  the  continual  additions  to  be  made,  the  school 
has  a  most  brilliant  outlook  for  the  future.

SCHOOL  OF  CIVIL  ENGINEERING. 


HIS  department  was  founded  in  1887.  The  work  in 
the  department  is  in  strict  keeping  with  the  spirit  of 
the  institution,  the  object  being  to  fit  men  to  become 
civil  engineers.  It  is  believed  the  course  of  instruc- 
tion is  such  as  will  enable  its  graduates  to  rise  rap- 
idly to  positions  of  the  highest  responsibility  in  the 
profession.  A  civil  engineer  must  be  a  liberally  edu- 
cated man,  and  for  this  reason  the  course  in  civil 
engineering  is  rather  more  general  in  its  character 
than  that  of  the  other  technical  schools  of  the  Uni- 
versity. 

The  location  of  the  University  is  very  favorable 
to  the  establishment  of  a  school  of  civil  engineering. 
The  city  of  La  Fayette  is  quite  centrally  located  with 
reference  to  the  cities  of  Chicago,  Cleveland,  Cincin- 
nati, St.  Louis,  Louisville,  etc.,  and  in  all  these  cit- 
ies there  is  much  to  incite  the  interest  of  the  students 
in  the  way  of  examining  existing  engineering  struct- 
ures. In  and  around  the  city  itself  are  numerous 
highway  and  railroad  bridges,  which  offer  excellent 
opportunities    to    the    students   of    bridge   engineer- 


The  department  is  well  equipped  with  field  instruments  of  the  most 
approved  pattern,  but  it  is  hoped  to  extend  the  equipment  as  rapidly  as 
possible  in  the  way  of  models  of  arches,  bridges,  roof  trusses,  etc.

SCHOOL  OF  AGRICULTURE. 


?/X   these  so-called  practical  days,    many   peo- 
ple go  about  with  the  question,  "What  is 
its  practical  benefit?"  on  their  tongue's 
end.     No  one  seems  to  question  the  util- 
ity of  the  engineering  courses.     The)'  are 
always  approved,  and  their  importance  is 
readily  granted.     The  apparent    magni- 
tude of  industries  requiring  engineers  is 
at  once  acknowledged  as  sufficient  ground 
for  maintaining  these  schools.     Very  few 
'     people  stop   to  think  that  the  value  of 
/    farms  and  farm  products  is  vastly  in  ex- 
—  cess  of  the  value  of  those  industries  for 

which  engineers  are  trained;  nor  are  they  inclined  to  think  that  farmers 
require  special  training.  The  purpose  of  the  Agricultural  Course  is  to 
train  men  in  such  a  way  that  they  may  follow  agricultural  pursuits  to  the 
best  advantage,  and  at  the  same  time  be  able  to  make  some  advancement 
in  the  art,  and  to  aid  those  in  their  community  who  have  not  had  a  thor- 
ough training  in  the  fundamental  principles  of  their  business. 

The  course  aims  to  make  a  man  what  he  should  and  must  be  in  these 
days  of  sharp  competition;  to  give  him  a  knowledge  of  the  correct  rela- 
tion of  his  land  to  its  products,  and  of  these  products  to  other  products: 
and  to  give  him  this  knowledge  in  such  a  form  that  he  will  not  sit  around 
and  groan  about  the  degeneracy  of  the  times,  but  will  get  out  and  put  his 
knowledge  to  some  immediate  use,  and,  if  necessary,  adapt  his  work  to 
the  times. 

During  the  entire  course,  the  student,  in  addition  to  the  subjects 
common  to  all  the  courses,  studies  the  best  authorities  on  theoretical  and 
applied  agriculture  and  allied  subjects.  At  the  same  time  he  sees  going 
on  about  him  work  of  the  utmost  value  to  agricultural  science.  And  this 
work  deals  with  the  particular  problems  that  are  of  first  importance  in  our 


./   SOI  VENIR. 

own  state.  He  sees  and  may  take  part  in  experiments  on  soils,  crop  rota- 
tion, fertilizers,  cattle  feeding,  curing  of  cattle  food,  dairying,  economic 
entomology,  soil  drainage,  veterinary  practice,  seed  testing,  improvement 
of  varieties  of  seeds,  fruit  raising,  market  gardening  and  a  multitude  of 
other  things  relating  to  the  business  of  farming.  He  is  prepared  to  use 
the  results  of  this  work  on  his  own  farm,  and,  what  is  of  the  highest  im- 
portance, to  properly  plan  and  execute  those  investigations  which  will 
solve  the  questions  arising  in  his  daily  work.  His  training  is  broad 
enough  to  lead  him  to  correct  conclusions,  and  so  enable  him  to  apply 
himself  and  his  capital  to  the  best  advantage.  A  farmer  with  broad, 
sound  training  and  good,  hard  sense  is  a  most  valuable  citizen.  This  is 
what  the  Agricultural  Course  has  tried  to  make,  has  made,  and  will  con- 
tinue to  make.

ART   AT    PURDUE. 


XE  of  the  facts  long  ago  discovered  is  that  a 
technical  school  without  drawing  would 
be  as  defective  as  a  classical  school  with- 
out language,  and  that  an  Art  Depart- 
ment was  a  necessary  complement  to 
the  regular  courses  of  study  at  Purdue 
University. 

So    the    School    of    Industrial    Art 
opened  in  the  pioneer  days  of  the  Uni- 
versity ;   not  with   a  blare  of  trumpets 
and   a  clashing  of  cymbals,   as  the  de- 
partments do  in  these  later  days,  but 
with  equal    force  and   the  same  gen- 
eral purpose. 

At  the  time  of  its  beginning,  this 
department  occupied  a  single  room 
in  the  building  that  is  now  used  as 
the  men's  dormitory.  Strange,  what 
a  variety  of  essentials  emanates  from 
this  building,  and  how  many  of  them 
eventually  hold  a  place,  often  vision- 
ary, in  the  Ladies'  Boarding  Hall. 
To  this  place  the  Industrial  Art  School  came  after  a  very  few  years, 
having,  owing  to  its  own  good  efforts,  crowded  itself  out  of  the  room 
assigned  to  it  in  University  Hall,  by  the  ever  increasing  number  of  art 
students.  Here  it  found  itself  large  enough  to  fill  a  suite  of  eight 
rooms,  the  main  lecture  room  being  the  best  arranged  room  for  the 
purpose  to  be  found  in  the  West.  This,  together  with  a  museum,  a 
room    for    casts,    one    for   designing,   three   for  wood   carving    and   clay 


A   SOUVENIR. 

modeling,  and  an  office,  were  taken  possession  of  and  considered  a 
dominion  to  he  further  improved  and  enlarged  as  the  growth  of  the 
University  required. 

Here  the  most  imaginative  may  train  his  pencil  to  illustrate  his 
thoughts  ;  and  he  with  skillful  hands  may  develop  his  imagination  as 
well  as  copy  from  ever  varying  nature  in  every  form.  He  may  sketch 
his   ideal,   model   it   in  clay,   and  perpetuate  it  hy  carving  it  in  wood. 

Industrial  art  hrings  forth  the  principles  from  which  may  be  de- 
veloped the  essentials  for  every  style  of  decoration.  Nothing  can  be 
more  delightful  to  the  cultivated  mind  than  the  combination  of  the 
useful  with  the  beautiful,  whether  they  have  merely  the  benefit  of  the 
result  or  are  actually  engaged  in  the  work  of  creating.

SCHOOL  OF  PHARMACY. 


CONDITIONS  were  such  in  the  year 
1884  that  the  School  of  Pharmacy  was 
established.  It  was  organized  in  re- 
sponse to  the  public  demand  for  drug- 
gists of  a  higher  pharmaceutical  educa- 
tion than  that  obtained  by  practical 
experience. 

The  course  affords  a  thorough  prac- 
tical and  theoretical  training  in  chem- 
istry, pharmacy  and  related  branches. 
In  the  Junior  year  the  student  receives  instructions  in  experimental  chem- 
istry, qualitative  analysis,  inorganic  chemistry,  manufacture  of  galenical 
and  inorganic  pharmaceutical  preparations,  human  anatomy,  materia 
medica,  pharmacognosy,  doses,  pharmaceutical  problems  and  strength 
and  composition  of  medicines. 

In  the  Senior  year  he  receives  instruction  in  organic  pharmaceutical 
preparations,  toxicology,  organic  qualitative  analysis,  (proximate)  analy- 
sis of  urine,  quantitative  analysis,  pharmaceutical  assaying,  pharmacog- 
nosy, materia  medica,  pharmaceutical  synonyms,  botany  and  prescription 
work.  The  morning  hours  are  devoted  to  lectures  and  recitations,  while 
the  afternoon  is  given  to  laboratory  work. 

A  separate  room  has  been  fitted  up  as  a  dispensing  pharmacy,  and  is 
used  by  the  student  in  filling  prescriptions;  the  student  is  required  to  read 
and  correct  prescriptions  taken  from  the  files  of  drug  stores.  The  more 
difficult  ones  are  to  be  filled  by  the  student  under  the  personal  supervision 
of  a  practical  druggist.  Under  the  management  of  Professors  Green  and 
Spitzer  the  course  is  gradually  improving.     This  year  they  have    added 


./  SOUVENIR. 

the  manufacture  of  organic  chemical  compounds  to  the  course,  making  it 
the  only  school  in  the  country  that  presents  this  branch  of  organic  chem- 
istry. 

The  analysis  of  water  has  also  been  added  to  the  course.  The  student 
is  required  to  analyze  several  samples  of  water,  under  the  supervision  of 
the  professor  of  quantitative  analysis.  This  has  been  the  most  successful 
year  since  the  establishment  of  the  school;  the  number  of  students  has 
increased  nearly  fifty  per  cent  over  last  year,  and  the  prospects  are  very 
encouraging  for  the  coming  term.

THE   INDIANA   AGRICULTURAL    EXPERIMENT 
STATION. 


J  HIS  institution,  maintained  as  a  de- 
partment of  Purdue  University  and 
the  work  of  which  is  undertaken  in  the 
interests  of  the  agricultural  community 
of  Indiana,  is  neither  a  local  nor  yet  a 
state  institution.  It  is  national  in  its 
origin,  having  been  established  by  an 
act  of  congress  approved  March  2, 
1887,  tlle  object  of  which  was  to  call 
into  existence,  in  connection  with  the 
agricultural  colleges  already  estab- 
lished in  the  different  states,  depart- 
ments or  institutions  for  the  express 
purpose  of  studying  the  principles 
underlying  the  great  agricultural  in- 
dustry of  the  country,  and  increasing 
the  productiveness  of  this  industry 
through   the    application  of  science    to    the  practical   methods  involved. 


./  SOUVENIR. 

while  increasing  the  power  of  the  producer  through  careful  and  systematic 
experiments. 

These  institutions,  though  comparatively  new  in  America,  are  coun- 
terparts of  similar  stations  in  Europe,  the  existence  of  which  dates  back 
half  a  century.  They  were  called  into  existence  in  response  to  a  direct 
demand  from  the  tillers  of  American  farms.  The  work  undertaken  by  the 
Indiana  station  and  the  field  recognized  as  belonging  to  it  may  be  best 
illustrated  by  the  organization  of  the  staff  devoted  to  the  work. 

In  agriculture  the  study  of  new  methods,  new  varieties  and  new 
implements;  the  investigation  of  the  characteristics  of  soils,  crops  and 
animals;  the  study  of  fertilizers,  of  rotations,  of  the  principles  of  animal 
nutrition,  of  economical  feeding,  and  the  utilization  of  dairy  products, 
form  the  scope  of  the  work  undertaken. 

In  horticulture  varieties,  methods,  systems  of  propagation,  hybridi- 
zation, cross-fertilization  and  the  origination  of  new  systems  and  new 
products,  offer  a  field  occupying  the  energies  of  the  department. 

In  chemistry,  the  study  of  soils,  of  fertilizers,  of  cattle  food  and  ot 
dairy  products  is  each  capable  of  affording  results  of  direct  practical  value 
and  application  to  daily  farm  affairs. 

In  botany  not  only  the  botanical  characteristics  of  plants  grown  as 
crops  and  the  conditions  controlling  their  economical  production  are 
studied,  but  to  the  sphere  of  the  botanist  also  belong  those  other  plants 
of  hardly  less  significance  to  the  farmer,  the  vegetable  diseases  from  the 
existence  of  which  his  crops  so  often  seriously  suffer.  The  rusts,  smuts, 
mildews,  rots,  scabs  and  other  fungoid  diseases  receive  the  experimental 
study  of  the  botanist,  with  the  result  already  of  having  materially  dimin- 
ished the  losses  heretofore  consequent  upon  the  ravages  of  these  enemies 
of  the  farmer. 

In  entomology  the  station  finds  a  means  for  protecting  farm  crops 
from  many  of  their  most  serious  insect  pests.  The  curculio,  the  codlin 
moth,  Hessian  fly  and  chinch  bug  are  illustrations  where  success  has 
already  crowned  the  efforts  of  the  station,  while  such  other  crop  depre- 
dators as  cut  worms,  wire  worms,  white  grubs  and  army  worm  are  still 
occupying  the  attention  of  the  entomologist  with  the  hope  of  at  least  par- 
tially reducing  the  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars'  damage  annually 
inflicted  upon  the  farmers  of  the  state  by  their  ravages. 

The  veterinarian  of  the  station  is  devoting  his  energies  toward  pro- 
tecting the  farm  live  stock  of  Indiana  from  some  of  the  numerous  con- 
tagious diseases  to-day  preying  upon  them.  Glanders,  hog  cholera, 
tuberculosis  and  influenza  are  names,  the  mere  suggestion  of  which    is 


A  SOUVENIR. 

sufficient  evidence  of  the   necessity    and    possibilities  of  work    in    this 
field. 

The  station  at  Purdue  has  completed  but  one  entire  year  of  work 
under  its  present  organization,  yet  the  results  are  in  the  highest  degree 
encouraging.  The  station  has  received  recognition  among  the  most 
prominent  in  the  country,  and  the  demand  for  the  results  of  its  work 
comes  from  every  state  and  territory  of  the  Union;  at  home,  however,  it 
has  received  the  unanimous  recognition  and  support  of  the  community  in 
whose  interests  it  labors;  its  publications,  mailed  free  by  act  of  congress 
to  all  applicants,  regularly  reach  thousands  of  the  farmers  of  the  state, 
among  whom  many  new  and  firm  friends  for  the  station  and  the  Uni- 
versity have  been  found,  and  numerous  instances  of  the  public  acknowl- 
edgment of  important  practical  assistance  have  occurred  as  the  result  of 
the  experimental  work  already  accomplished.

HISTORY  AND  POLITICAL  ECONOMY. 


(HE  Department  of  History  and  Political 
Economy  affords  the  student  instruction 
in  history  of  the  United  States,  general 
history  and  political  economy.  In  the 
work  done  in  political  economy,  as  well 
as  in  history,  the  fact  is  constantly  kept 
in  sight  that  the  student  is  to  become  a 
citizen.  Especial  attention  is  given  to 
those  subjects  that  concern  the  political 
and  economic  life  of  the  people.  Yen- 
little  time  is  given  to  abstract  theories 
and  the  memorizing  of  dates;  on  the  con- 
trary, such  problems  as  those  that  every 
good  citizen  must  meet  and  help  to  solve, 
are  the  things  that  receive  most  atten- 
tion. Some  of  the  graduates  of  Purdue 
will  follow  engineering,  some  scientific  pursuits,  and  others  agriculture, 
but  since  all  must  become  citizens,  especial  care  is  taken  to  instruct  in 
those  subjects  that  will  prepare  for  intelligent  citizenship. 

It  is  confidently  believed  that  the  subjects  studied  in  this  department 
are  matters  for  scientific  investigation,  and  that  to  obtain  the  best  results, 
the  method  of  science  must  be  applied.  For  this  reason  the  student  is 
supplied  with  material,  directions  given  in  regard  to  its  use,  and  he  is 
allowed  to  draw  his  own  conclusions,  subject  to  the  free  criticism  of  class 
and  instructor.  The  library  is  the  laboratory  from  which  the  materials 
are  drawn,  and  not  the  least  of  the  aims  of  the  department  is  to  train  the 
students  to  use  it  intelligently.

LITERATURE  IN  PURDUE. 


S.ATURE  is  the  expression  in  language  of  the 
attempt  of  man  to  comprehend  his  infinity, 
his  universal  nature.  Man's  self  searches 
everywhere  to  find  itself  expressed.  He  finds 
his  own  mind,  with  its  laws  in  nature,  and  out 
of  the  facts  of  nature  he  builds  stupendous 
systems  of  science.  In  history  he  finds  his 
own  immeasurable  self  building  the  world's 
materials  into  definite,  organized  life. 

Yet  science  and  history  do  not  constitute 
literature.  Literature  is  not  an  expression  ot 
the  real  facts  of  the  world,  but  rather  of  the 
ideals  of  the  soul  ;  literature  does  not  describe 
a  plant,  or  a  star,  or  a  fish,  with  scientific  minuteness  ;  it  finds  in  the  life 
of  these  some  thought,  feeling  or  action,  which  may  typify  to  man  an 
ideal  of  his  own  possibility.  The  course  of  the  water  fowl  shows  the  guid- 
ing hand  of  the  human  course,  and  the  little  flower  in  the  crannied  wall 
hints  at  all  that  God  and  man  are.  Literature  does  not  describe  minutely 
some  phase  of  life  of  a  city  or  country,  and  do  no  more  ;  it  infuses  into 
this  description  a  breath  of  the  universal  human  soul,  and  so  makes  the 
description  of  the  life  of  Pere  Goriot  a  type  of  human  selfishness,  human 
vanity,  human  ingratitude,  human  vice,  contrasted  with  absolute  human 
self-sacrifice  and  unselfishness  ;  literature  does  not  merely  relate  the  myths 
and  legends  of  the  prehistoric  ages,  it  speaks  there  through  the  Iliad  and 
Odyssey,  the  Divina  Comedia,  Hamlet,  Faust  and  Marble  Faun,  but  it 
makes  them  show  the  eternal  solutions  of  man  to  the  problem  of  life  —  the 
union  of  his  finiteness  and  his  infinity  —  and  they  interpret  to  him  the 
spirits  of  the  ages;  Homer,  of  the  Classic  Age;  Dante,  the  Mediaeval 
Age  ;  Shakespeare,    the  Renaissance  ;    Goethe,  the    Revolutionary   Age  ; 


./   SOUVENIR. 

Hawthorne,  the  American  Age.  Literature  thus  has  lor  its  province  the 
spirituality  of  man  in  its  ideal  phases,  as  contrasted  with  science  and  his- 
tory, which  treat  of  man's  spirituality  in  what  may  be  called  its  real  phases. 
If  a  man  is,  then,  to  be  truly  a  complete  man,  a  woman  truly  a  complete 
woman,  study  of  literature  must  go  hand  in  hand  with  study  of  science 
and  of  history.  The  study  of  literature  counteracts  the  materializing 
influence  of  an  exclusive  study  of  science.  The  microscope,  the  telescope, 
the  balance,  the  micrometer,  do  not  measure  all  things  ;  the  subtle  illusive, 
self-active,  self-directive,  intelligent,  loving  soul  cannot  be  put  into  a  scale- 
pan,  fused  in  a  crucible,  or  tested  on  a  galvanometer.  It  can  be  known 
only  by  insight^  and  insight  is  gained  by  a  study  of  literature,  for  litera- 
ture catches  and  fixes  this  forever  moving  essence. 

The  course  of  literature  at  Purdue  is  admirably  fitted  to  earn  out  this 
thought.  It  more  than  supplements  the  training  in  material  thinking. 
In  the  Preparatory  Department  the  beginning  is  made  with  American 
poems  ;  these  come  closest  to  the  students'  own  lives,  being  perhaps 
most  easily  interpreted.  The  form  of  the  selected  pieces  is  studied  as  to 
grammar  and  composition,  and  thus  furnishes  a  transition  from  the 
secondary  instruction  to  the  college  work.  In  the  Freshman  year  the 
time  is  spent  on  American  prose.  The  beginning  of  the  college  work  in 
"  insight  reading  "  is  made  here  in  the  study  of  the  characters  of  the  per- 
sons Irving,  for  example,  portrays,  and  in  conversations  on  the  thoughts 
and  feelings  expressed.  The  chief  form  of  study  of  the  year  is  in  the  way 
of  rhetoric,  leading  up  to  the  later  work  in  style.  The  Sophomore  year 
continues  the  previous  work  with  English  poetry,  "brooks'  Primer  of 
English  Literature  "  is  used  to  furnish  an  outline  of  the  history  of  litera- 
ture in  England.  In  the  Junior  year  English  prose  is  considered,  an 
especially  minute  study  of  style  and  literary  form  being  made.  "  Minto's 
Manual  of  English  Prose"  is  the  basis  for  the  work.  DeQuincey,  Macaulay 
and  Carlyle's  masterpieces  are  studied.  The  aim  is  to  fit  the  student  for 
an  appreciation  of  the  beauties  of  style,  and  this  year's  work  closes  the 
study  of  form.  In  the  course  of  the  year  some  attention  is  given  to 
insight,  especially  in  the  study  of  Carlyle.  In  the  Senior  year  is  the 
best  work  of  the  literature  course.  The  whole  time  is  spent  in  a  study  of 
the  thought  and  feeling  of  some  of  the  world's  greater  poets.  Shake- 
speare, Browning  and  Emerson  furnish  the  student  with  the  ideals  of  the 
life  he  is  soon  to  begin.  With  the  training  of  his  whole  college  life 
inherent  in  him,  he  is  ready  to  seize  the  problems  of  life  and  conquer  them. 
It  were  not  fitting  to  close  an  account  of  the  literature  course  at  Pur- 
due and  its  influence,   without  recognizing  the  most  potent  influence  in

superfluous  to  say  anything  t<>  an  Indiana  public  of  Emma  Mont.  McRae. 
Let  it  suffice  that  Purdue  is  both  fortunate  and  proud  in  having  in  charge 
of  this  department,  which  does  so  much  for  the  spiritual  welfare  of  its 
students,  the  one  person  in  Indiana  best  able  to  make  this  highest  culture 
a  real  and  living  power  to  them.

JOHN  PURDUE. 


~OHX  PURDUE,  who  lias  endeared  his  name 
to  the  people  of  Indiana  as  the  founder  oi 
the  Purdue  University  at  La  Fayette,  In- 
iana,  was  born  in  Huntington  count}', 
Pa.,  on  the  31st  of  October,  1802. 
His  native  village,  Germany,  located  be- 
tween two  small  mountain  ranges,  pre- 
sented, during  the  years  of  his  minority, 
all  the  scenes  and  incidents  of  pioneer  life. 
It  was  a  German  settlement,  as  its  name 
indicates,  and  the  early  residents  were  not 
blessed  with  any  of  the  modern  appliances 
that  now  lend  a  charm  to  farm  life.  Mr. 
Purdue's  father,  Charles  Purdue,  was  a 
poor,  hard-working,  honest  pioneer.  John, 
the  subject  of  this  sketch,  was  the  only 
son,  the  other  seven  children  being  daugh- 
ters. Times  were  hard  in  the  pioneer  set- 
tlement then,  and  John  Purdue  was  early  on  the  list  of  "  hired  help. ' ' 
At  the  age  of  eight  years  he  was  first  sent  to  a  country  school,  where  he 
at  once  evinced  his  natural  taste  for  intellectual  culture.  He  made  rapid 
progress  in  his  elementary  studies,  and  after  a  few  yearsof  great  industry, 
improving  every  opportunity,  he  became  quite  proficient  in  the  English 
branches  of  study,  and  was  himself  called  to  the  school  room  as  a  teacher. 
While  still  young,  his  father  and  family  emigrated  to  Ross  county,  0., 
near  Adclphia,  and  thence  to  W'orthington,  Franklin  county,  seven  miles 
from  Columbus.  After  several  years  as  a  most  successful  teacher,  Mr. 
Purdue  visited  Marion  county,  ().,  where  he  purchased  a  quarter  section 
of  land,  and  at  once  went  to  farming. 

We  shall  not  follow  Mr.  Purdue  step  by  step  in  his  commercial  life. 
It  was  a  magnificent  success  for  the  individual,  but  not  less  so  for  educa- 
tion in  Indiana,  as  we  will  see.  He  first  came  to  La  Fayette  in  1837, 
though  he  did  not  locate  permanently  until  [839,  when  he  opened  a  store 


./   SOUVENIR. 

of  general  merchandise  in  connection  with  Mr.  Moses  Fowler  in  a  building 
on  the  northeast  corner  of  the  public  square.  Soon  after,  he  struck  out  on 
his  own  account  and  accumulated  a  vast  fortune,  which  was  ever  freely 
distributed  for  benevolent  and  educational  purposes.  His  commercial 
operations  in  Xew  York  city  during  the  civil  war  were  characterized  by 
wonderful  business  foresight,  unflinching  integrity  and  substantial  re- 
wards—  so  much  so  that  Mr.  Purdue's  name  became  a  tower  of  credit  in 
that  city.  He  was  truly  the  king  of  the  produce  merchants  in  that  great 
metropolis  during  his  business  residence  there. 

His  connection  with  Mr.  Fowler  lasted  only  until  1840,  and  he  there- 
after made  several  firm  changes  until  1861,  at  which  time  he  sold  out 
finally,  and  became  interested  in  the  founding  and  building  of  the  La  Fay- 
ette Agricultural  Works,  the  buildings  of  which  are  now  occupied  by  the 
La  Fayette  Car  Works. 

In  1869  he  announced  himself  as  independent  candidate  for  Congress, 
and  came  very  near  being  elected,  his  competitor  being  Hon.  G.  S.  Orth. 
About  this  time,  probably  to  further  and  assist  his  political  aspirations, 
he  purchased  the  La  Fayette  Morning  Journal,  which  he  sold  shortly 
after  to  Mr.  vS.  Yater,  present  proprietor  and  editor  of  the  Evening  Call. 

In  any  historical  sketch  of  Purdue  University  will  be  found  a  com- 
plete account  of  the  transaction  upon  which  was  based  the  changing  of 
the  name  of  the  "  Agricultural  College  "  to  that  of  "  Purdue  University." 
Suffice  to  say  here  that,  upon  certain  conditions,  Mr.  Purdue  agreed  to 
donate  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  the  amount  of  $150,000.  This  beneficent 
gift,  besides  locating  the  institution  near  La  Fayette,  placed  it  upon  a  firm 
financial  footing,  and  gave  it  the  needed  start  toward  a  successful  com- 
pletion of  the  high  aim  of  its  Board  of  Trustees. 

In  the  months  of  June,  July  and  August  of  1876,  Mr.  Purdue  had 
not  enjoyed  good  health,  but  nothing  serious  was  apprehended.  On  Sept. 
12  he  visited  the  Agricultural  Works  and  Purdue  University,  and 
stopped  for  a  time  at  the  Lahr  House,  his  real  home,  where  he  had 
furnished  rooms.  During  the  afternoon  he  was  conveyed  to  the  Hygienic 
Institute,  and  left  there  by  his  nephew,  feeling  much  better  than  usual. 
After  eating  a  slight  lunch  and  chatting  with  the  inmates  of  the  house,  he 
retired  to  his  rooms,  where,  about  5  o'clock  p.  m.,  he  was  found  dead, 
lying  upon  his  face  on  the  floor,  he  apparently  having  fallen  while  attempt- 
ing to  reach  the  door.  The  cause  of  his  death  was  doubtless  apoplexy, 
with  which  he  had  long  been  threatened. 

The  funeral  took  place  on  the  afternoon  of  Sept.  14  at  2:30  o'clock. 
Hon.    John  R.    Coffroth,    Hon    John    A.     Stein,    and     President     White, 


./   SOUVENIR. 

after  visiting  the  University  grounds,  chose  a  commanding  spot  in 
front  of  the  Main  Building,  then  in  process  of  construction,  and  near  the 
campus  avenue,  as  the  location  for  the  grave.  It  was  one  of  the  best  that 
could  have  been  selected.  The  funeral  was  very  largely  attended,  and 
the  president  delivered  a  funeral  oration  at  the  grave. 

Mr.  Purdue  lived  an  honest,  upright  life.  Eulogies  that  tremble  on 
the  pen  would  fail  to  do  him  justice.  He  seized  every  opportunity  of  doing 
good  as  it  presented  itself,  and  it  was  only  through  his  last  and  crowning 
act  that  the  students  of  Purdue  University  enjoy  the  manifold  privileges 
now  spread  before  them.  His  words  of  counsel  were  always  characterized 
by  appeals  for  honesty  and  integrity.  These  principles  he  admired  above 
all  else.  He  was  a  careful  reader  of  the  Bible,  and  had  in  his  library 
numerous  works  relating  to  the  Scriptures.  He  was  on  intimate  terms 
with  many  of  the  students,  and  always  had  a  pleasant,  encouraging  word 
and  a  sunny  smile  for  each. 


THE  FIRST  COMMENCEMENT. 

i  Compiled  from  an  article  in  the  La  Fayette  Courier,  June  /-,   r8?J.) 

J  Thursday  morning,  June  17,  (875, 
occurred  the  first  commencement  at 
Purdue.  Owing  to  a  severe  rain  storm, 
the  attendance  was  not  large.  Among 
those  present  were  Governor  Thomas 
A.  Hendricks,  Hon.  John  Purdue  and 
the  Board  of  Trustees.  After  prayer  by 
Rev.  Joyce,  now  Bishop  Joyce,  President  Shortridge  presented  John  B. 
Harper,  the  only  graduate,  as  a  candidate  for  the  degree  of  B.  S.  Mr. 
Harper  delivered  an  interesting  and  able  oration  on  "  The  Search  for 
Truth."  After  he  had  concluded  Gov.  Hendricks  came  forward  and  de- 
livered the  presentation  speech.  He  said  that  the  institution  had  made  a 
modest  start,  but  he  hoped  the  graduates  within  twenty  years  would 
number  one  hundred  instead  of  one.  Gov.  Hendricks  was  followed  by 
Hon.  John  Purdue.  He  said  he  did  not  intend  to  make  a  speech;  he  only 
desired  to  say  a  few  words.  The  institution  was  still  in  its  infancy.  He 
hoped  it  would  grow  to  be  a  man.  The  college  had  a  small  beginning 
and,  the  speaker  said,  blunders  had  been  made  in  the  management,  but 
he  thought  they  would  be  overcome.  He  said  that  the  governing  laws 
were  imperfect,  and  should  be  changed.  Before  taking  his  seat  here- 
marked,  tersely:  "  We  don't  get  on  very  nicely."  ( It  was  an  open  secret 
at  that  time  that  the  founder  of  the  institution  was  not  in  sympathy  with 
the  policy  of  the  president  and  some  of  the  trustees. — Krxs.) 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  commencement  exercises  the  visitors  inspected 
the  various  departments  of  the  University.  The  library  was  a  small  room 
in  the  south  end  of  the  dormitory,  and  there  were  about  six  hundred 
volumes  on  the  shelves.  The  recitation  rooms  in  the  three  buildings 
were  visited,  and  the  work  of  the  students  examined.  Very  little  apparatus 
had  yet  been  provided,  and  about  all  the  six  professors  could  exhibit  were 
some  mathematical  drawings,  collections  of  botanical  specimens  and  some 
chemical  preparations  in  glass  tubes. 

That  evening  the  trustees  held  a  meeting  and  made  arrangements  to 
establish  a  military  department  under  charge  of  an  army  officer. 


MILITARY  TRAINING. 


)/,- — '  -j  ^  -  -  \\0  the  casual  observer  wandering  over  the  campus 
\  of  old  Purdue,  there  is  but  little  to  suggest  the 
presence  of  a  military  company,  unless,  per- 
chance, he  meets  some  handsome  cadet,  in  dark 
blue  uniform  and  brass  buttons,  or  should  espy 
the  stars  and  stripes  floating  from  the  flag  staff 
on  the  armory.  Since  1876  a  military  organiza- 
tion has  been  in  existence  at  Purdue;  but  we 
may  say  that  the  present  company  was  formed 
two  years  ago,  when  an  instructor,  lieutenant 
Pickering,  U.  S.  A.,  was  detailed  by  the  authori- 
ties at  Washington,  to  take  charge  of  military 
affairs  at  the  place.  Lieut.  Pickering  was  placed 
in  charge,  and  under  his  able  supervision  an 
excellent  cadet  corps  was  organized.  Though 
not  compulsory,  over  a  hundred  students  soon 
entered  the  ranks,  and  it  is  proven  beyond  a 
doubt  that  the  company  is  a  permanent  feature 
of  Purdue.  At  present  the  battalion  consists 
of  two  companies  of  infantry,  a  corps  of  light 
artillery  and  a  drum  corps.  The  drill  occurs 
twice  a  week  on  the  campus,  when  the  weather  permits,  or  in  the  Military 
Hall,  a  building  large  enough  to  accommodate  two  companies  of  infantry 
and  a  detachment  of  artillery.  Here  the  raw  recruit  is  drilled  in  the  vari- 
ous foot  movements  until  quite  proficient,  and  then  he  is  given  a  musket 
and  taught  "  how  to  shoot."  The  arms  furnished  by  the  state  are  of  the 
latest  improved  pattern,  and  the  training  a  cadet  receives  is  as  thorough 
and  severe  as  at  any  military  school  or  in  the  regular  army.      Lectures  are 


./   SOUVENIR. 

occasionally  given  <m  subjects  connected  with  military  life,  and  every- 
thing is  made  as  attractive  and  pleasant  as  possible.  The  benefits  derived 
from  such  an  organization  are  more  than  would  be  supposed  by  one  unac- 
quainted with  the  drill.  A  graceful  carriage,  a  knowledge  of  war,  and 
ability  to  command  in  case  of  emergency  are  a  few  of  the  important 
factors.

COLLEGE  ORGANIZATIONS. 


_# ^ 


DELTA  DELTA-SIGMA  CHI. 


v  v      - 


[855  Sigma  Chi  was  founded  at  the 
old  Miami  College,  at  Oxford,  (3.,  by 
six  refractory  members  of  Delta  Kappa 
Kpsilon,  who  refused  to  support  a  cau- 
cus candidate,  and  withdrew  from  the 
"Dekes"  in  consequence.  From  1845 
to  the  opening  of  the  war,  Miami  was 
the  leading  college  of  the  West,  and 
seemed  destined  to  become  to  the  West 
what  Harvard  and  Yale  are  to  the 
Hast.  The  Greek  letter  society  estab- 
lished by  the  six  Miami  students  has  enjoyed  a  career  of  great  prosperity. 
The  number  of  chapters  has  reached  about  forty,  and  the  total  member- 
ship is  about  3,000.  The  chapters  are  principally  in  the  West  and  vSouth, 
experience  having  indicated  that  the  true  fraternity  standard  cannot  be 
maintained  in  the  large  eastern  universities.  The  fraternity  has  issued 
an  excellent  song  book.  The  official  organ  is  the  quarterly  published  at 
Chicago,  and  the  fraternity  colors  are  blue  and  gold.  In  1876  a  cata- 
logue of  the  members  was  published,  and  the  new  catalogue  of  1890,  just 
out,  is  the  most  pretentious  volume  of  the  kind  ever  issued  by  any  Greek 
letter  society.  It  is  a  large  book,  containing  photographic  views  of  everv 
college  at  which  .Sigma  Chi  has  been  established,  together  with  a  history 
of  each  chapter,  a  brief  biography  of  each  member,  and  much  useful  clas- 
sified information. 

Delta  Delta  chapter  was  established  at  Purdue  University  in  1875, 
within  a  few  months  after  the  college  first  opened.  The  charter  member- 
ship was  large,  and  the  chapter  enjoyed  a  prosperous  existence  until  187S, 
when  the  faculty  passed  an  anti-fraternity  regulation,  to  which  all  stu- 
dents were  required  to  subscribe.  From  1878  to  1885  the  initiates  were 
sub  rosa,  and  no  badges  were  worn,  and  very  few  meetings  held.  In  iS8o 
there  graduated  the  last  student  who  was  generally  known  to  be  a  mem- 
ber of  the  fraternity.      In    1881    the  chapter  made  a  test  of  the  anti-fra- 


A  SOUVENIR. 

ternity  regulation  by  appeal  to  the  Circuit  Court  of  Tippecanoe  county  for 
a  mandamus,  to  compel  the  faculty  to  admit  members  who  would  not  sub- 
scribe to  the  "iron-clad  oath."  The  Circuit  Court  upheld  the  faculty. 
An  appeal  was  taken  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  state,  which  reversed 
the  decision  of  the  lower  court,  and  distinctly  upheld  the  fraternity. 
This  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  was  not  immediately  followed  by  a 
repeal  of  the  regulation,  and  the  matter  of  the  prohibitory  rule  was 
brought  up  in  1883  in  the  legislature,  and  vigorously  discussed  pro  and 
con,  and  the  contention  over  this  point  had  much  to  do  with  the  blocking 
of  the  I  niversity  appropriation  that  session.  The  local  chapter  peti- 
tioned the  faculty,  through  alumni  members,  many  times  between  1878 
and  1885,  and  finally,  after  seven  or  eight  years  of  mere  semi-existence, 
was  received  and  took  its  place  among  the  active  chapters. 

Since  1885  the  members  have  held  regular  meetings  in  their  hall, 
and,  aside  from  the  occasional  diversions  which  college  life  always  offers, 
they  have  encountered  no  startling  adventures.  They  are  inclined  to 
bury  the  dead  past  and  forget  old  animosities  engendered  during  the 
fierce  "  frat"  war  of  '81  and  '82.  The  chapter  prides  itself  on  a  large 
representation  among  the  alumni,  and  also  on  the  fact  that  during  the 
fifteen  years'  existence  of  the  University,  the  members  have  always  been 
prominent  in  the  literary  societies  and  active  in  student  enterprises.  The 
total  membership  to  date  is  about  seventy-five.  The  chapter  rooms  are 
located  in  the  Perrin  Building  in  the  city.

CHI  CHAPTER-KAPPA  SIGMA. 


^  HE  Kappa  Sigma  fraternity  is  one  of 
1  the  later  Greek  letter  societies, 
coming  into  existence  in  1867.  It 
had  its  origin  in  the  South,  and  a 
majority  of  the  chapters  have  been 
organized  in  southern  colleges  and 
academies.  Like  all  new  organiza- 
tions invading  a  territory  occupied 
by  older  and  well  established  rivals, 
it  has  encountered  many  difficulties, 
and  a  number  of  chapters  have  suc- 
cumbed to  adverse  circumstances. 
Nevertheless,  Kappa  Sigma  has 
grown  in  numbers  and  influence 
each  year.  The  fraternity  issues  a 
quarterly  magazine. 

Chi  chapter  was  founded  in 
1885  by  Augustus  Ruffner  and  \V.  T.  Thayer,  both  of  '88,  who  had  been 
members  at  the  West  Virginia  Military  Institute.  Mr.  Ruffner  was  an 
energetic  fraternity  man,  high  in  the  councils  of  the  order,  and  one  of  the 
general  officers.  Largely  through  his  efforts,  the  chapter  started  out 
with  a  dozen  enthusiastic  members.  The  chapter  was  sub  rosa  until  1887, 
since  which  time  it  has  occupied  a  suite  of  rooms  in  the  city.  Chi  chap- 
ter is  unfortunate  in  being  so  entirely  isolated  from  the  other  chapters  of 
the  fraternity,  placing  it  in  the  position  of  a  local  society.  The  members 
of  the  Purdue  chapter  have  been  prominent  in  athletic  sports,  and  the 
chapter  has  given  several  pleasant  social  entertainments.

THE  first  meeting  of  the  Irving  literary  Society  was  held  January 
29,  1875,  in  the  second  story  recitation  room  of  the  building  now  de- 
vottd  exclusively  to  chemistry  and  pharmacy,  at  that  time  used  as  a 
recitation  room  for  the  preparatory  class.  There  were  fifteen  charter  mem- 
bers, of  whom  all  but  one  are  now  living.  The  membership  during  the  first 
three  years  did  not  at  any  time  exceed  twenty.  The  annual  entertain- 
ment was  given  during  commencement  week  of  each  year.  The  Irving 
had  the  field  to  itself  for  three  years  before  the  Philalethean,  first  known 
as  the  "Cereal,"  was  organized.  In  1S7S  the  society  was  assigned  its 
present  large  and  handsome  room  in  the  Main  Building,  which  was  com- 
pleted during  the  fall  of  that  year.  The  dedication  exercises  took  place 
November  21,  and  were  attended  by  Governor  Williams,  ex- Governor 
Hendricks,  the  President  of  the  .State  University  and  State  Normal,  the 
trustees  and  other  distinguished  visitors. 

From  1S78  to  1SX1  the  society  was  more  or  less  rent  by  factions,  and 
finally,  in  1.SS1 ,  when  the  membership  had  been  "  boomed  "  up  to  seventy, 


A  SOUVENIR. 

twenty-eight  members  withdrew  and  formed  the  Carlyle,  A  new  consti- 
tution was  then  adopted,  and  the  membership  limited  to  forty.  The 
society  lias  experienced  unvarying  prosperity  from  [881  up  to  the  present 
time.  The  annual  entertainment  is  given  during  the  second  week  of  the 
third  term,  and  an  open  meeting  is  also  given  during  each  term  session. 
The  annual  reunion  occurs  during  commencement  week,  and  consists  of  a 
banquet,  toast  programme  and  social  session. 

The  Irving  is  by  far  the  oldest  of  any  of  the  societies.  Its  member- 
ship to  date  is  not  far  from  275,  and  nearly  fifty  presidents  have  wielded 
the  gavel  of  authority.  Its  alumni  members  are  scattered  far  and  wide, 
and  hold  many  places  of  honor  and  trust.  The  Irving  has  always  taken 
an  honest  pride  in  the  excellence  of  its  literary  work,  and  it  has  endeav- 
ored to  be  in  name  and  fact,  a  literary  society.

A  RAY  of  light  broke  through  the  gloom  which  shrouded  early  Purdue 
when  the  Philalethean  was  brought  into  existence.  Since  that  event- 
ful day,  so  important  in  the  history  of  Purdue,  eleven  years  have 
passed.  Her  life  thus  far  has  been  happy  and  successful,  for  she  has  been 
nourished  and  reared  with  the  teuderest  care  by  those  who  have  had  her  in 
charge.  They  have  presided  over  her  with  a  dignity  befitting  their  posi- 
tion, and  thus  many  laurels  have  been  laid  upon  her  youthful  brow. 

Her  adherents  have  been  many,  for  she  has  had  a  variety  of  social 
and  literary  advantages  to  offer  them.  Her  constitution  is  almost  perfect, 
considering  her  age,  but  sometimes  her  watchful  guardians  detect  some 
slight  flaw  which  they  immediately  remedy,  if  possible.  Thus  as  the 
years  go  by,  she  becomes  stronger,  and  the  laws  governing  her  are  in- 
creased and  perfected. 

In  the  Philalethean  hall,  which  is  shared  with  the  Carlyle,  are  assem- 
bled   every     Friday    afternoon     about    forty    wise     and    witty    members, 


./    80UVENIR. 

who  for  an  hour  devote  themselves  to  literature  and  music.  Every 
spring  time,  during  the  annuals,  she  displays  her  intellectual  charms  to 
the  culture  of  La  Fayette  and  the  students  of  Purdue,  giving  them  a 
slight  conception  of  the  literary  ability  which  she  has  attained.  At  this 
time  her  best  talent  is  brought  forth,  and  it  has  always  compared  very 
favorably  with  that  of  the  other  Purdue  societies. 

(  ra  one  of  the  rare  days  in  June,  all  her  former  devotees  assemble  and 
tor  a  while  give  themselves  up  to  banqueting  and  merry-making.  They 
call  to  mind  reminiscences  of  college  days  and  re-live  the  happy  days  spent 
in  the  old  Philalethean  hall. 


TIIK   Carlyle   Literary  Society   was  begun   in  18S1  by  the   fraternity 
element   of  the   old  Irving.     The    new  society    went   smoothly 
along,  meeting  whenever  it  was  kindly  permitted  to,  in  "No. 3," 
the    library,   and  among    the    skeletons    in    the    basement,   until    it   was 
finally  domiciled  with  the  Philalethean. 

The  members  were  from  the  start  bound  together  with  a  much  closer 
feeling  of  friendship  and  unity  than  generally  exists  in  such  organiza- 
tions.  We  felt  we  could  not  afford  to  waste  any  friendship  we  had.  As 
a  consequence,  the  Carlyle  constitution  became  a  model  one  in  its  harmon- 
izing provisions,  and  the  innovations  introduced  tended  to  keep  the 
Carlyle  spirit  alive  and  active,  even  after  college  was  finished.  To  many 
of  us  of  the  old  rSgime,  the  name  Carlyle  even  yet  calls  up  a  brotherly 
feeling  for  every  one  of  that  little  group  of  thirty  who  met,  week  after 
week,  and  worked  for  the  success  we  knew  must  come.  "A  charter 
member  of  Carlyle?  Give  us  your  hand,  old  fellow;  we  know  what  that 
means,  don't  we5"  We  received  visits  occasionally  from  our  friends,  and 
one  of  our  most  vivid  recollections  is  that  of   Mr.    Haynes,  the  superin- 


./   SOUVENIR. 

tendent  of  the  farm,  and  his  big  basket  of  apples.  Mr.  Vestal,  the  green- 
house superintendent,  came  frequently  to  see  us  and  wish  us  success. 

The  first  annual  was  a  complete  success,  and  showed  the  most  in- 
vidious foe  that  there  was  something  at  work  which  would  not  down. 
We  felt  that  we  had  the  best  literary  talent  of  the  University,  and  with 
the  red  and  gold  banner,  and  "S/itdctc  Literas"  we  meant  to  march  to  the 
heights  and  stay  there.  Thus  was  Carlyle  started  on  a  successful  course. 
Not  the  smallest  part  of  that  success  was  due  to  the  staunch  friendship  of 
the  lady  friends  wdio  stood  by  us  in  the  hardest  fights.  All  honor  to  those 
to  whom  the  credit  is  due. 

A  reason  easily  apparent  to  the  initiated  has  made  Carlyle  a  leader 
in  social  matters  at  Purdue.  The  Carlyle  picnics  and  hops  are  events 
long  to  be  treasured  in  the  memory  of  those  who  enjoyed  them.  That 
other  societies  have  followed  Carlyle's  lead  in  this  line  is  not  without 
meaning. 

So  when  we  meet  at  the  annual  reunion,  and  see  the  faces  of  the  old 
boys  becoming  fewer  and  fewer,  we  feel  like  saying  to  the  new  ones  who 
wear  the  Roman  sword,  "When  you  lose  the  old  spirit  that  breathed 
through  the  name  Carlyle,  you  will  fall;  when  you  make  it  stronger,  you 
must  stand  at  the  very  head." 


IN  the  fall  of  1886,  a  number  of  Freshmen  and  .Sophomores  met  for  the 
purpose  of  organizing  another  literary  society.    Owing  to  the  rapidly 

increasing  number  of  students  at  the  college,  they  deemed  another 
society  to  be  essential,  and  definite  action  was  accordingly  taken.  Various 
committees  were  appointed,  and  the  laborious  work  of  framing  a  consti- 
tution was  begun.  With  headquarters  at  the  dormitory — that  place  where 
so  many  schemes  have  been  born  and  fostered  —  the  necessary  work  was 
rapidly  completed.  It  was  not,  however,  until  the  spring  of  1887  that  the 
faculty  finally  granted  a  charter  to  the  new  society,  the  "Emersonian." 

Like  the  other  literary  societies  of  Purdue,  the  Emersonians  have  for 
their  objects,  social  and  mental  culture;  social  culture  by  the  association 
of  its  individual  members,  mental  culture  by  the  performance  of  the 
various  literary  duties  of  the  society. 

The  Emersonian  society  is  no  longer  an  infant,  although  young  in 
years.  It  has  given  its  annual  entertainments  and  its  open  meetings, 
and  in  each  case  has  compared  favorably  with  the  older  societies.  Its 
members,  overcoming  the  many  obstacles  in  their  way,  are  faithfully 
carrying  out  'heir  motto:      "11  'ie  die  .  Irbeit,  so  die  Belohnung." 


THE  SCIENTIFIC  SOCIETY 


N  February,  1S83,  a  few  students  and  sev- 
eral members  of  the  faculty  met  and 
organized  a  Natural  History,  or  Scientific 
Society.  The  first  meeting  was  held  in 
the  biological  laboratory  of  the  Main 
Building,  Prof.  C.  R.  Barnes  acting  as 
temporary  chairman.  This  organiza- 
tion at  Purdue  was  the  result  of  a  talk  in 
which  were  portrayed  the  workings  of  a 
Scientific  Society  in  the  Michigan  Agri- 
cultural School.  At  each  regular  monthly 
meeting  one  or  more  papers  are  read, 
bearing  upon  subjects  of  scientific  interest  and  importance.  This  society 
is  the  only  one  in  college  which  admits  men  of  all  classes.  President  and 
prep,  professor  and  student  meet  in  one  common  interest.  It  has  for  its 
aim  the  promotion  of  science  and  general  intelligence.  From  the  time  of 
its  organization  until  to-day,  it  has  proven  itself  one  of  the  most  beneficial 
societies  ever  established  at  Purdue,  a  credit  and  an  honor  to  the  college. 


THE  "PURDUE  EXPONENT." 


^HE  commencement  of  that  eventful  year 
of  i.sss,  bringing  with  it  all  the  joys 
and  gladness  that  are  ever  present  on 
such  gala  occasions  when  enhanced  by 
the  beauties  of  a  bright  summer  day, 
witnessed  the  last  moments  of  our  be- 
loved college  monthly,  The  Purdue. 
It  had  come  and  risen  in  time  of  adver- 
sity, lived  a  long  and  useful  life  in  the 
time  of  prosperity,  but  now,  when  in 
the  height  of  its  glory,  its  life  cords  were  snapped  in  twain  and  it  was  sent 
to  join  that  fast  increasing  army  of  magazines  whose  sole  object  is  to  leave 
behind  the  many  cares  and  responsibilities  of  the  busy  world  and  bury 
themselves  in  the  unremembered  past. 

Its  downfall,  which  would  have  occurred  sooner  or  later  had  it  con- 
tinued under  the  old  constitution,  was  hastened  by  the  1889  editors,  who 
assumed  the  responsibility  of  getting  out  an  issue  for  the  month  of  June. 
This  was  in  conflict  with  the  will  of  the  faculty.  The  constitution  was 
brought  forth,  examined  and  found  to  be  faulty.  As  a  remedy  a  new 
constitution  was  advised,  but  the  societies  and  the  faculty  could  not  agree 
upon  a  document,  so  the  publication  of  the  paper  was  discontinued. 
Thus  the  matter  rested  till  the  fall  term  of  the  following  school  year. 

During  this  year — 1888-89 — in  the  societies,  the  question,  "Shall 
we  have  a  college  paper?"  was  again  agitated.  The  fall,  winter  and 
spring  terms  were  spent  in  this  discussion,  but  when  June  arrived  they 
were  no  nearer  a  conclusion  than  they  were  at  the  first  of  the  year.  But 
when  the  days  of  .September  of  1889  brought  back  the  students  to  their 
duties,  the  prospects  for  a  paper  were  far  brighter  than  they  had  been  the 
year  before.  The  class  of  1889  had  gone.  The  faculty,  seeing  the 
advantages  that  a  paper  in   the  interests  of  the   University   would  bring 


./   SOUVENIR. 

them,  gave  their  consent  to  a  constitution  that  had  been  drawn  up.  The 
societies,  now  four  in  number,  the  Emersonian  having  been  founded  in 
1887,  each  elected  its  editors,  and  in  December  the  first  issue  of  the  new- 
organ  made  its  appearance  under  the  name  of  the  Purdue  Exponent,  The 
new  monthly  was  everywhere  greeted  with  kind  words  and  encourage- 
ment. The  design  on  the  cover  is  artistic,  for  which  the  designer  justly 
merits  praise. 

The  editorial  staff  is  composed  of  three  representatives  from  each  liter- 
ary society,  numbering  twelve  in  all,  elected  to  serve  one  year.  At  present 
the  offices  are  filled  with  competent  persons  who  are  uniting  their  efforts 
to  build  up  the  interests  of  the  paper  and  bring  it  on  a  level  with  its 
fellows.  The  Exponent  has  come  to  stay,  probably,  as  there  is  little  pros- 
pect of  another  1889  ever  getting  into  Purdue. 


Y.  M.C.A-Y.  W.  C.A. 


i\URI)UE  University  has,  among  her  other 
organizations,  a  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association.  Founded  in  1884, its  history, 
for  the  past  six  years,  is  one  of  even 
prosperity  and  continued  interest.  The 
weekly  meetings,  occurring  on  Wednes- 
day evening  hefore  study  hours,  are 
given  to  devotional  exercises  which  oc- 
cupy a  short  space  of  time.  As  the  num- 
ber of  students  has  increased  from  year 
J^\  to  year,  the  membership  on  the  records 
"^  has  also  increased,  and  at  present  there 
are  enrolled  the  names  of  forty-two  active 
members. 

This  branch  of  work  in  the  Univer- 
sity is  not  wholly  confined  to  the  young  men.  In  the  fall  of  [889  the 
young  ladies  organized  a  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  selecting  Monday  afternoon  as 
their  time  of  meeting.  In  both  of  these  organizations  a  large  amount  of 
interest  has  been  taken  by  the  students.  Working  quietly  and  unpre- 
tentiously, their  work  in  the  past  has  been  effective.  With  the  future 
opening  so  brightly  before  them,  with  prospects  so  inviting,  there  is 
much  to  warrant  the  belief  that  the  twin  associations  will  long  continue 
to  exercise  a  healthy  and  leavening  influence. 


PURDUE  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION. 


Athletic  Association  was  organized  in 

January,  1X90,  and  its  object  is  to 
regulate  the  sports  at  Purdue,  not 
only  by  providing  a  system  to  train 
men  in  various  games,  but  also  to 
arrange  opportunities  that  the  various 
teams  may  meet  other  college  men  to 
test  strength  and  skill. 

The  association  will  regulate  prin- 
cipally base  ball  and  foot  ball,  and 
with  the  aid  of  the  faculty,  intends  to  equip  the  gymnasium  for  the  gen 
eral  use  of  students.  Every  person  in  the  college  is  eligible  to  member- 
ship, and  the  success  of  the  association  depends  at  all  times  upon  the 
hearty  co-operation  of  all  the  students,  for  nothing  so  induces  a  player  to 
do  his  best  as  the  encouragement  and  enthusiasm  of  his  fellows.  This 
spring  the  association  controls  the  action  of  the  base  ball  nine  in  a  series 
of  games  with  the  Indiana  colleges.

THE  ELEVEN. 


FOOT  ball,  though  a  rough  and  dangerous  game,  is,  for  this  reason, 
perhaps,  an  exciting  sport — a  game  in  which  old  men  and  young 
men,  and  the  ladies  as  well,  are  equally  interested;  a  game  which 
once  seen  is  never  to  be  forgotten.  The  timid  may  cower  and  shrink  from 
a  ' '  scrimmage' ' ;  there  is  nothing  that  will  cause  the  blood  to  leap  in  an  old 
college  man's  veins  as  when  he  hears  the  half-smothered  cry  of  "  down!  " 
from  the  man  underneath,  or  when  a  goal  is  made  by  some  dashing 
runner. 

Among  the  athletic  sports  at  Purdue,  that  good  old  English  game 
ranks  second  to  no  other.  In  recent  years  much  progress  has  been  made 
in  the  training  of  the  team,  and  to-day  we  possess  an  eleven  that  will  not 
be  excelled  by  any  other  college  in  the  Indiana  League. 

It  was  in  1887-88  that  Purdue  entered  the  lists  with  the  other  col- 
leges; but  little  was  known  of  the  game  then  by  any  of  the  students,  and, 
as  a  result,  we  could  not  feel  confident  of  success.  However,  after  a  few 
weeks'  training,  a  fairly  good  eleven  was  chosen;  but  we  were  defeated 
by  Butler,  which  college  was  the  first  to  introduce  the  game  to  the  col- 
leges of  the  state. 

The  fall  of  188S  passed  with  no  games  played.  The  spirit  seemed  to 
have  died  out,  but  later  developments  proved  that  it  was  "  not  dead,  but 
only  sleeping."  Early  in  the  autumn  of  1889  a  college  foot  ball  associa- 
tion was  formed  by  the  V.  M.  C.  A.  of  Indianapolis,  and  Purdue  again 
entered  to  compete  for  the  laurels.  Among  the  450  students  the  prime 
movers  in  the  matter  saw  much  good  material  for  a  foot  ball  "eleven." 
The  boys  were  put  into  training  early  in  the  season,  and,  when  the  time 
arrived  for  the  first  game,  a  noble  set  of  fellows  donned  the  moleskins  and 
canvas  jackets,  and  entered  the  arena.  Good  coaching,  iron  muscle  and 
an  abundance  of  "  wind  "  carried  the  first  day,  Purdue  winning  easily 
the  game  with  DePauw. 

Two  weeks  later  a  hotly  contested  game  was  won  from  Wabash  on 
their  own   grounds,  and   Thanksgiving   day  the   final   game  was  played 


A   SOUVENIR. 

with  Butler  to  decide  the  state  championship.  Our  men  had  not  entirely 
recovered  from  their  blows  received  in  the  two  previous  games,  and,  hav- 
ing a  formidable  adversary  with  whom  to  cope,  we  were  unfortunately 
defeated,  but  not  without  a  manly  struggle.  So  much  for  a  good  rush 
line,  a  good  coacher  and  the  good  will  of  both  students  and  faculty  — 
second  place  for  [889,  with  bright  prospects  for  the  championship  in  1S90.

CHAMPIONSHIP.—  1UTI.KK. 


THE  NINE. 

BASE  BALL  has  always  been  the  popular  game  at  Purdue.  The  nine 
first  came  prominently  to  the  front  about  [880  by  successively  de- 
feating several  college  teams  and  amateur  clubs,  and  playing  a  cred- 
itable game  with  the  Indianapolis  Association  nine.  ( )f  course  Purdue  lost. 
In  [885  the  nine  was  strengthened  by  a  battery  composed  of  Miller,  '86,  and 
Dickison,  '87,  pharmacy.  So  long  as  these  men  were  in  college  the  nine 
was  invincible.  When  they  left  the  team  lacked  a  battery.  In  the  fall 
of  '87  Purdue  entered  the  lists  for  a  series  of  inter-collegiate  games.  Dur- 
ing the  year  Purdue  won  a  game,  and  was  awarded  two  on  a  forfeit,  as 
follows: 

April  21,   [888,  at  Purdue — Wabash    iS;  Purdue  7. 

May  30,  isss,  at  Bloomington  —Purdue,  3;  State  Univ.,  2. 

June  j,  i.sss,  at  La  Fayette— Purdue,  u;  DePauw,  o. 

June  S,  1888,  at  La  Fayette— Purdue,  9;  Butler,  o. 
In  the  fall  of  [888,  two  games  were  played  with  Wabash,  and  Purdue 
was  twice  victorious.  This  was  largely  due  to  the  effective  work  of  L. 
J.  Hord,  'So,  pharmacy,  who  was  in  the  box.  In  [889-90  the  team  lias 
not  made  an  enviable  record.  Wabash  twice  defeated  the  Purdue  team 
with  ease.  What  we  lacked  was  practice,  team  work  and  a  battery. 
Purdue  has  individual  brilliant  players,  and  when  the  team  gets  into 
practice,  the  state  championship  will  come  tin.-,  way. 


./   SOUVENIR. 


A  scheme  has  now  been  perfected  for  a  schedule  of  games  between 
Indiana  college  nines,  under  the  auspices  of  the  state  V.  M.  C.  A.  The 
league  is  composed  of  Purdue,  Wabash,  Butler,  Del'auw,  Bloomington 
and  Hanover.  All  professionals  and  special  matriculates  will  be  barred. 
Each  team  plays  a  game  with  every  other,  and  the  championship  is 
awarded  to  the  one  making  the  largest  percentage.  Following  is  the 
roster  of  the  team  on  April  i,    iSgo: 

A.  G.  Moodv,  c. 

L.  J.  HORD,  p. 

J.  C.  Goodwin,  sub.  p.  and  capt. 

A.  Right,  s.  s.

C.  Olds,  2nd  b. 

J.  M.  Dresser,  Jr.,  3rd  b. 

X.  Morrill,  c.  f. 

W.  Knight,  1.  f. 

R.  Lackey,  r.  f. 

]■'.    HOUGHAM,   SUb. 

By  liberal  cash  subscriptions  and  attendance  at  all  games,  the  stu- 
dents have  made  the  eleven  a  success,  and  the  same  backing  must  be 
given  the  nine.  Purdue  has  taken  the  proper  initiatory  steps  by  engag- 
ing a  good  coacher,  and  putting  the  players  through  a  stiff  course  of 
training. 


TENNIS  AT   PURDUE. 


W.WVN  TEN 


SNNIS'  popularity  at  Purdue  lies 
in  the  fact  that  it  may  be  enjoyed 
by  the  lady  element  of  the  col- 
lege; nor  are  all  men  so  constituted 
that  they  can  appreciate  a  lively 
game  of  base  ball,  or  live  through 
even  a  modest  game  of  modern 
foot  ball. 

Lawn  tennis  has  been  played 
at  Purdue  since  1882  ;  it  was  first 
introduced  by  Miss  Peck,  in- 
structor in  Latin,  and  ever  since 
has  had  a  host  of  admirers  and 
energetic  participants.  Lawn 
tennis  is  frequently  sneered  at  by  those  sturdy  youths  who  find  more 
pleasure  in  making  a  touch-down  than  eating  a  Hall  supper  ;  but  never- 
theless it  supplies  a  want  for  exercise  to  those  mind  workers  whose  eyes 
have  assumed  a  leaden  hue,  and  whose  muscles  are  shriveled  from  neglect. 
The  game  affords  a  lively  yet  not  a  violent  exercise,  and  the  weary  stu- 
dent finds  tennis  a  most  acceptable  respite  from  study. 

On  bright  warm  days  the  campus  in  front  of  the  Main  Pudding  is  a 
scene  of  mirth  and  interest.  Eleven  courts  are  laid  out  on  the  smooth 
turf,  and  the  game  is  indulged  in  by  old  and  young,  the  wise  and  the  sim- 
ple, and  occasionally  beauty  lingers  to  enjoy  a  set.  The  professor,  the 
president  and  the  preps  alike  succumb  to  the  charms  of  tennis. 

This  has  been  a  remarkable  year  for  tennis,  and  every  month  during 
the  last   year  the  balls  have  been   tossed  over  the  nets  stretched  on  the 


green. 

Tennis  is  given  i 


prestige  at  Purdue  by  the  patronage  of  such  wise

men  as  Professors  Coulter,  Phillips,  Creighton,  Golden,  Arthur,  Carmen, 
Turner  and  Sholl. 

At  the  tournament  held  last  fall  the  badge  of  honor  was  given  to  Miss 
Charline  McRae.

FIELD  DAY  AT  PURDUE. 


N  class  day,  1.SS7,  field  day  athletics 
were  introduced  at  Purdue.  To  the 
class  of  1SS7,  insignificant  in  numbers, 
the  University  owes  the  institution  of 
class  day  and  the  accompanying  athletic 
programme.  The  first  field  day  was  a 
success  from  a  popular  standpoint,  but 
a  disappointment  as  regards  the  records 
made.  There  had  been  little  or  no 
training  for  the  different  contests,  and 
the  entire  programme  was  in  the  nature 
of  an  experiment.  Since  then,  a  great 
interest  has  been  taken,  and  the  sharp- 
est rivalry  has  existed  between  classes 
in  the  fight  for  honors.  Several  records 
have  been  made  which  approach  those 
of  professionals. 
sitor  wishes  to  see  Purdue  at  its  best  he  should  be  at  the  field 
Class  enthusiasum  runs  high.  Class  colors  flutter  from 
hundreds  of  lapels.  Class  yells  mingle  in  harmonious  discord.  And  the 
amateur  athletes  range  themselves  along  the  rope  and  pull  like  Trojans, 
all  for  the  glory  of  being  carried  away  on  somebody's  shoulders.

A  NEW  VERSION. 


HE  shades  of  night  were  falling  fast, 
Tra  la  la,  Tra  la  la, 
As  up  the  Chauneey  hill  there  passed, 

Tra  la  la,  la  la, 
A  verdant  Freshman,   filled  with  dread, 
Who  faltered  as  he  gazed  ahead: 
"  Upidee,  idee,  ida. 
Upidee,  upida. 
Upidee,  idee,  ida. 
Upidee,  ida." 

A  year  passed  by,  and  late  one  night, 
Tra  la  la,  Tra  la  la, 

A  howling  Soph  toiled  up  the  height, 

Tra  la  la,  la  la, 
He  was  giving  the  town  a  coat  of  paint, 
And  this  was  the  burden  of  his  plaint  : 
"  Tpidee,  etc." 

"(),  stay,"  the  maiden  cried,  "and  rest,' 
Tra  la  la,  Tra  la  la. 
"  Your  weary  head  upon  this  breast." 

Tra  la  la,  la  la, 
Hut  the  Junior,  climbing  up  the  hill, 
Sent  his  regrets,  and  murmured  still: 
"  Upidee,  etc."

Attired  in  taste  and  a  la  mode, 

Tra  la  la,  Tra  la  la, 
In  a  motorcar  the  Senior  rode.

He  knew  that  he'd  leave  college  soon, 
Vet  he  gaily  chaffed  and  whistled  a  tune: 
"  Upidee,  etc."

Some  scientific  facts  he'd  learned,

And  sadly  sang  reflectively:

;   OF    THE    CAMPUS,    PURDUE    UNIVERSITY. 


^>  HE  morning  dawned  in  its  accustomed  man- 
ner, 

And  the  bright  sun  tipped  with  its  splen- 
dor 

The  dorm,  and  the  gas  tank,  and  the  en- 
gine house. 

With  the  prompt  sun  arose  the  gay  pic- 
nickers 

And  quick  attired  themselves  in  queer, 
outlandish  manner. 

vSome  wore  the  gaudy  trappings  of  mil- 
itia, others 

The  garish  knickerbockers,  and  a  few 

Put  on  their  Sunday  suits,  and  blacked 
their  shoes. 

Then  flannel  shirts  of  many  hues,  and 
scarfs 

Of  odd  appearance  were  unearthed  and 
worn , 

And  then  some  girt  themselves  with 
sashes, 


./   SOUVENIR. 


Or  else  with  belts,  and  few  wore  galluses  ; 
One  smoked  a  pipe,  and  many  cigarettes. 
At  the  Hall  there  was  a  running  to  and  fro, 
Activity  was  there,  but  yet  no  bustle,  for 
Picnic  costumes  are  not  built  that  way. 
Upon  the  floor  were  baskets  heaping  full 
Of  treacherous  salad  and  large  healthy  buns, 
And  cakes  with  much  red  sugar  on  the  top. 
Soon  down  the  gravel  walk  gay  couples  sped, 
The  one  carried  a  shawl,  and  he,  the  other, 
A  basket  and  a  parasol,  likewise 
A  camp  stool,  camera  and  a  tennis  net. 
Upon  the  steamer's  deck,  and  on  the  barge, 
Down  where  the  stately  skiffs  are  moored, 
A  crowd  had  soon  collected,  and  they  jostled 
About  the  barrel  full  of  lemonade,  and  quaffed 
Quite  freely,  and  made  ready  for  the  trip. 
Perhaps  an  hour,  or  maybe  two,  after  the  time 
Of  advertised  departure,  the  plank  is  drawn,  and  then 
The  voyage  is  begun.     The  dagos  play  a  waltz, 
And  he  who  trips  only  the  plain  quadrille, 
Sits  on  the  upper  deck,  and  smokes,  and  rocky  feels, 
While  his  best  girl  goes  through  the  mazy  dance 
With  a  rival.      The  waltz  strains  die  away; 
The  caller  mounts  a  chair  and  loudly  howls, 
Until  his  eyes  hang  out  upon  his  cheeks, 
And  the  brash  amateur  who  never  danced  before. 
Gets  in  his  work,  and  walks  on  people's  feet, 


./  SOUVENIR. 

And  stops  the  dance,  and  makes  the  caller  mad. 
A  Freshman  desperado  coolly  draws 
A  small-sized  cannon,  and  proceeds  to  shoot 
At  marks  along  the  shore,  and  grimly  smiles 
When  asked  to  stop  before  he  kills  himself. 
Four  gay  and  giddy  people  may  be  seen 
Out  on  the  forward  deck,  engaged  in  whist, 
Determined  each  to  have  a  time,  and  plunge 
Headlong  into  the  wildest  dissipation. 
Between  the  dances,  some  adventurous  fiend, 
Begins  with  quavering  voice,  "  My  Bonnie  Lies" — 
But  ere  he  perpetrates  a  single  line, 
The  cries  of  anguish  cut  his  effort  short. 
Before  the  welcome  Black  Rock  comes  to  view 
The  programme  has  become  informal,  quite; 
Some  sing,  some  dance,  some  don't,  some  pass  the  word 
That  So-and-So  has  waltzed  with  her  four  times, 
Neglecting  in  a  shameful  way  the  one 
Whose  basket  he  had  carried  down  the  hill. 
A  hat  or  two  may  be  lost  overboard,  and  dresses, 
Spotless  at  starting,  are  soiled  and  flecked  with  soot; 
In  fact,  the  whole  assemblage  seems  to  wear 
A  mussed-up  and  a  holiday  appearance. 
When  the  old  Russell  swings  against  the  bank, 
Under  the  shadow  of  the  beetling  Black  Rock, 
The  crowd  makes  haste  to  go  ashore,  and  climb 
The  steepest  hills,  and  tear  their  clothes,  or  else 
Collect  in  groups,  and  face  the  glowing  sun, 
And  have  their  pictures  taken  by  the  "  artist." 
"Fis  twelve  o'clock,  and  there  are  cries  for  food, 
And  hunger  stamps  itself  on  every  face, 
And  then  the  wail  goes  forth  that  careless  ones 
Have  left  the  ice  uncovered,  till  a  ton 
Has  melted  down  to  just  a  few  small  lumps. 
The  lemonade  is  gone,  so  four  young  men, 
Who  came  along  as  stags,  are  started  out 
To  find  a  farm  house,  and  some  H ._,(). 
Meanwhile  the  snowy  cloths  are  spread  along 
The  ground,  and   luncheon  baskets  are  unloaded. 
Potato  salad,  chicken  salad,  lobster  salad,  pie, 


./   SOI  VENIR. 


Ham  sandwiches,  deviled  eggs,  veal  patties,  buns, 

Fig  cake,  white  cake,  angel's  food,  and  cookies, 

Sweet  pickles,  sour  pickles,  olives  —  what  a  spread! 

A  swift  destruction  waits  the  fair  array 

Of  tempting  eatables,  and,  it  must  be  said 

That  some,  half-crazed  by  hunger,  do  not  act 

As  one  accustomed  to  swell  dinner  parties, 

But  if  remonstrance  should  be  offered  such, 

The  information  is  imparted  back,  that 

At  Soph  picnics  everything  must  go. 

The  little  ants  make  merry  with  the  rest, 

And  crawl  about  upon  the  cake,  and  gorge 

Themselves  with  sweets,  and  have  a  pleasant  time. 

The  daddy-long-legs  interviews  the  pie. 

And  wood-ticks  wander  up  the  trousers  leg. 

The  first  to  leave  the  picnic  spread  are  two, 

Who  take  a  hammock  with  them  as  they  go; 

Disciples  of  stuckology  are  they, 

Who  fain  would  shake  the  balance  of  the  crowd. 

The  afternoon  goes  by,  alas,  too  swiftly, 

And  merry  are  the  moments  as  they  fly; 

The  varied  forms  of  picnic  entertainment 

Amuse  the  people  left  upon  the  Russell, 

But  a  majority  have  fled  into  the  forest, 

Far  from  the  picnic  crowd's  ignoble  guys, 

To  pluck  Spring  flowers,  and  spoon  on  mossy  logs. 

'Tis  five  o'clock  too  soon,  and  the  bright  sun 


A    SOUVENIR. 

Which,  as  aforesaid,  tipped  with  its  splendor 

The  dorm,  and  the  gas  tank,  and  the  engine  house, 

Now  casts  benign  and  rather  slanting  rays 

UpOll  the  picnic  people  homeward  bound. 

They  crowd  upon  the  barge  in  wild  disorder, 

With  costumes  nigligi  and  hair  unkempt, 

With  coats  ripped  up  the  back,  and  dresses  muddy, 

They  sing,  and  shout,  and  call  for  more  to  eat. 


The  puffing  Russell  battles  with  the  current, 
And  seems,  at  times,  to  scarcely  move  at  all, 
And  when  the  homeward  trip  is  half  completed, 
The  darkness  shrouds  the  brave  and  gallant  craft. 
The  smoky  lanterns  cast  a  gruesome  light 
Upon  the  dancers  prancing  to  and  fro, 
And  often  from  some  corner  dark  there  come 
The  soft  and  gurgled  accents  of  the  mashed. 


./   SOUVENIR. 

Heedless  of  fleeting  hours  or  sand  banks  dread, 

The  devotees  of  pleasure  whoop  and  howl, 

And  load  the  passing  zephyrs  with  refrains 

Of  college  songs,  or  musical  class  yells, 

And  every  one  regrets  to  see  once  more 

The  twinkling  lights  along  the  eastern  bank. 

The  wharf  is  reached,  the  baskets  sorted  out; 

With  three  hoarse  cheers,  and  man}-  fond  "good  nights,' 

The  mob  disperses,  while  the  steamer's  crew, 

Repairs  the  wreck  and  ruin  left  behind. 

With  footsteps  slow,  and  rather  halting  gait, 

Once  more  they  wander  up  the  gravel  walk; 

The  one  carries  a  shawl,  and  he,  the  other, 

A  basket  and  a  parasol,  likewise 

A  camp  stool,  camera  and  a  tennis  net. 

He  says  good  night,  and  leaves  her  at  the  door, 

And  weak  and  foot-sore  dormward  takes  his  way, 

And  she  cries  after  him,  "  O,  Mr.  Blank, 

I've  really  had  a  lovely  time  to-day." 


WHEN   the  crisp  autumnal  zephyrs    whistle  through  the  leafless 
trees; 
When  croquet  is  a  sweet  regret  and  tennis  is  non  est ; 
When  the  base  ball  player  stays  in  doors  for  fear  that  he  will  freeze, 

And  the  picnic  trousers  get  a  needed  rest; 
When  Mackinaws  and  yellow  shoes  are  packed  away  with  care, 

And  the  summer  sash  becomes  a  muffler  gay, 
Then  the  college  foot  hall  specialist  emerges  from  his  lair, 
And  buckles  up  his  armor  for  the  fray.

reception.  Thrice  in  the  history  of 
Purdue  have  such  invitations  been

A  faculty  reception!  "Oh,  we've  all

tion  committee  of  to-night  will  be  the  discipline  committee  of  to-morrow. 
The  evening  Hies  so  swiftly  by,  the  hours  seem  scarcely  minutes, 
until  the  plaintive  air  of  "  Home,  Sweet  Home"  bids  the  student  seek  his 
four  square  walls,  to  dream  sweet  dreams,  perhaps  of  the  faculty  reception.

RETROSPECTION. 


WHEN  first  with  awkward  ways  and  verdant  mien, 
The  emerald  granger,  just  from  home,  is  seen. 
Closely  attached  unto  an  ancient  "  grip," 
With  intent  firm  of  culture's  cup  to  sip; 
We  see  ourselves  as  others  saw  us,  once, 
In  social  rudiments  a  very  dunce. 
We  well  remember  how,  with  ardor  burning. 


./   SOUVENIR. 

We  leaned  against  the  iron  gate  of  Learning, 

And  glancing  up  the  rocky  steep  of  Fame. 

Forthwith  resolved  that  we  would  mount  the  same, 

With  hay-seed  intermingled  in  our  hair, 

With  open  mouth  and  idiotic  stare, 

With  clumsy  gestures  and  with  shambling  gait, 

We  lumbered  onward,  starching  foi  our  Fate; 

And  having  interviewed  the  "  Prex  "  so  stern, 

And  numerous  professors  in  their  turn. 

We  safe  impale,  on  Learning's  hook,  a  bait, 

And  drop  our  line,  a  real  matriculate. 

Our  retrospection  turns  to  Freshman  days; 

And  through  the  curtain  dim  of  memory's  haze 

We  see  a  crowd  come  rushing  into  view, 

With  yells  that  far  discount  the  wildest  Sioux. 

The  "melon-colic  "  season  suits  them  well, 

And  where  the  eggs  go,  not  a  soul  can  tell; 

At  Hallowe'en,  when  fairies  are  astir, 

Their  pranks  surprise  Queen  Mab,  and  shame  e'en  her; 

And  ammunition  they  reserve  in  store, 

To  pester  even-  worthy  Sophomore. 

Where'er  a  chance  for  eating  is  allowed, 

The  Freshmen  always  flock  there  in  a  crowd; 

And  when  capacity  has  met  its  fill 

They  load  their  pockets  with  a  wondrous  will  — 

A  rambling,  roaring,  raving,  raging  raft; 

That  has  a  hand  in  jokes  of  every  craft, 

A  genial,  hearty  crowd  the  whole  day  long, 

A  whole  soul  in  a  body  stout  and  strong. 

A  noble  Sophomore,  sedate  and  wise, 

With  mighty  learning  beaming  from  his  eyes; 

With  anxious  wile  his  hook  he  slowly  baits, 

And  for  conclusions  sits  him  down,  and  waits; 

A  Socrates  is  he  of  all  his  class, 

And  reckons  every  other  man  an  ass. 

With  massive  head  bowed  low  in  mighty  thought, 

I)ee]>  he  will  dig  for  jewels  long  unsought; 


./   SOUVENIR. 

The  Senior  e'en  knows  not  SO  much  as  he; 
He  oft  explains  to  profs  some  mystery, 
Ami  scarce  can  think  the  living  fact  is  true, 
That  this  small  world  is  large  enough  for  two. 

The  jaunty  Junior  trips  along  the  green, 

With  tie,  the  like  of  which  has  ne'er  been  seen; 

A  stylish  hat  and  slender  little  cane; 

A  collar  of  which  no  one  can  complain. 

Upon  his  lip  a  shadow  light  appears, 

That  gives  fair  promise  for  the  coming  years. 

His  forte  exclusive  lieth  with  the  girls, 

And  oft  to  each  one  he  his  tongue  unfurls; 

His  heart  is  hroken  many  a  luckless  time, 

And  he  is  melted  with  a  grief  sublime; 

Yet  he  survives  it  with  a  wondrous  power, 

And  starts  a  new  flirtation  every  hour. 

If  maiden  coy  his  softened  heart  doth  break, 

It  leaves  no  "blasted  future"  in  its  wake; 

And  so  he  passes  through  the  Junior  year, 

A  very  gallant  youth,  a  cavalier, 

Our  Senior,  sturdy,  steady,  tried  and  true, 

Now  with  great  majesty  heaves  into  view. 

Before  him,  lo,  he  sees,  with  smiling  eyes, 

His  sheep-skin;  dear,  long-looked-for,  wished-for  prize. 

He  peers  into  the  future  to  decide 

Which  art,  trade  or  profession  to  bestride, 

And  with  a  prospect  spread  so  fair  and  bright, 

Sees  naught  of  dark,  inevitable  night. 

The  sea  of  Life  is  lying  broad  before; 

What  may  there  be  upon  the  distant  shore? 

His  barque  is  lightly  rocking  on  the  wave 

That  may,  perchance,  but  prove  the  sailor's  grave, 

And  bows  unto  the  sea,  with  modest  pride, 

Which,  rippling,  laughing,  sparkles  at  her  side; 

And  as  he  notes  the  signs  of  dawning  day, 

With  brave  desire  he  longs  to  speed  away; 

But  once  he  turn-*  with  honest,  grateful  heart, 

Regretful  that  the  time  has  come  to  part. 


A  SOUVENIR. 

When  far  in  distant  lands  the  students  roam; 
When  many  weary  miles  from  friends  and  home; 
When  care  weighs  heavy  on  each  manly  brow; 
Nor  smiles  come  quickly  to  the  lips,  as  now; 
When  struggling  on  the  battle-field  of  Life, 
And  oft  near  beaten  in  the  fretful  strife; 
A  restful  feeling  comes  as  we  review 
The  memories  sweet  of  friends  at  old  Purdue.

CO-EDUCATION. 


HK  question  is,  "  Is  co-education  a 
success    at     Purdue?"     Rather. 
,\£)      Look  at  the  alumni  record,  and 
see  the  list  of  fortunate   Bache- 
lors   who    found    wives    among 
their  classmates.      Many  a   Purdue 
man  has  sat  upon  the  stone  steps 
with    a     fair    classmate,     the    two 
reading  from  the  same  book,  and, 
as  they  became  absorbed  in  study 
and     each    other,     Cupid     stepped 
from  behind  the  hedge  and  bagged 
both  of  them.     Is  co-education   a 
success  ?     The  idea  of  asking  such 
a  question  ! 
Yet  co-education,  with  its  manifold  and  obvious  advantages,  did  not 


./  SOUVENIR. 

always  exist  at  Purdue.  The  faculty  tried  to  get  along  without  any 
female  adjuncts  for  a  year  or  two,  and  then  gave  it  up.  The  only  re 
markable  thing  is  that  they  ever  tried  it  at  all.  Any  attempt  to  throw 
co-education  out  of  the  Purdue  curriculum  would  result  in  a  riot. 

You  will  not  find  in  the  Souvenir  any  attempt  to  describe  the  typical 
Purdue  girl.  It  would  be  another  instance  of  trying  to  gild  refined  gold 
and  touch  up  the  lily  with  water-colors.  The  editors  do  not  feel  equal  to 
the  task  of  putting  into  cold  type  the  myriad  traits  of  her  lovable  char- 
acter. Our  artist,  however,  has  attempted  to  present  a  fair  likeness  of 
her  in  the  initial  letter  illustration  on  the  preceding  page.  The  picture 
does  not  flatter  her. 

The  other  illustration,  at  the  top  of  the  page,  should  not  have  been 
inserted,  as  it  is  a  gross  libel  on  the  better  half,  or  third,  of  Purdue. 
The  likeness  of  the  typical  Purdue  man  in  this  illustration  is  not  so  bad. 


THE  DFADLY  MATH. 


A  Junior  sat  with  his  head  on  his  hands, 

In  his  room  not  overlj-  clean; 
Xot  a  sound  was  there  save  the  throb  of  his  heart, 

And  the  hiss  of  escaping  steam. 

He  thought  of  days  in  the  dim,  distant  past, 

When  a  boy,  so  happy  and  free, 
He  had  wandered  down  by  the  rippling  brook, 

Or  had  chased  the  bumble-bee, 

A  memory  came  of  his  first  tender  love, 

A  maiden  of  sweet  sixteen, 
And  a  sigh  came  forth  as  he  thought  of  that  face 

And  those  beautiful  eyes— his  queen. 


./  SO  I  VENIR. 

His  mind  came  hack  from  its  trip  to  the  past, 
And  its  course  very  slowly  he  checks, 

For  before  him  looms  up  that  accursed  of  snag; 
The  eighth  differential  of  x. 

To  calculus  then  he  tried  to  come  back, 

But  alas!  his  reason,  it  fled! 
With  a  dx  here  and  an  integral  there, 

I  regret  to  say  he  was  dead. 


IN   CAMP. 


;  FTEN  we  hear  it  said:  "As  much 
valor  is  found  in  feasting  as  in  fight- 
ing. ' '  Therefore  there  was  much  valor 
at  Camp  J.  H.  Smart,  down  in  the  edge 
of  the  Wea  Plains.  This  was  a  camp 
of  the  Purdue  Cadets  in  May,  1889. 

The  amount  and  maimer  oi  the  feast- 
ing was  really  marvelous,  especially 
the  latter.  It  is  certain  that  many  sur- 
prised themselves  with  the  amount  of 
valor  developed,  displaying  an  amount 
which  would  have  alarmed  their  friends  at  home.  This  development  of  a 
latent  passion  ( for  pork  and  beans)  was  most  severe  on  our  very  efficient 
commissary,  as  he  was  continually  compelled  to  divide  himself  (or  his 
time)  between  camp  and  the  base  of  supplies,  about  five  miles  away,  that 
there  might  be  no  languishing.  But  he  did  it  well.  When  our  first  supply 
of  coffee  came  to  us  in  the  whole  bean,  he  hesitated  not,  but  sallied  forth 
to  the  neighboring  peasantry  and  informed  them  of  their  country's  needs, 
and  brought  back  two  coffee  mills.  The  greatest  mistake  of  this  expedi- 
tion on  the  part  of  the  military  authorities  was  in  not  having  closed  a 
written  contract  with  Jupiter  Pluvius  beforehand.  For  this  neglect,  old 
Pluvejust  tried  himself  and  fairly  rained  down  his  maledictions.  But 
like  true  soldiers,  what  cared  they  when  they  had  ten-ounce  canvas  over 
them?  But,  how  Pluve  did  catch  them  that  Thursday  at  dinner  time, 
when  the  soldiers  w/«/come  out  !  He  had  been  damming  up  his  hoarded

water,  and  he  just  with  one  mighty  jerk  pulled  the  plug  out  !  And  that 
opening  was  vertically  opposite  Camp  Smart,  and  the  effect  was  awful  - 
on  the  loaded  tin  plates  fdled  with  various  ingredients. 

Nevertheless  J.  P.  had  to  give  it  up,  and  on  Friday  and  .Saturday  old 
Sol  came  out  and  rejoiced  with  the  valorous  youths  below,  and  all  felt 
goed.  Lots  of  fun  was  had  at  target  practice,  hut  the  little  red  flag  was 
nearly  worn  out,  telling  the  man  with  a  gun  that  they  had  heard  him 
shoot,  but  that  the  target  had  escaped  with  its  life.  The  big  guns  were 
kept  at  work,  too,  pumping  iron  projectiles  at  the  unoffending  slopes  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  camp.  The  hills  barely  escaped,  and  so  did  the  peasant  in 
the  field  beyond,  where  he  was  plowing,  perfectly  ignorant  of  having 
artlessly  come  into  range.

"  Before  I   pass  upon  this  matter,  it 
will  be  necessary  for  me  to  consult  the

The  disappointed  applicant  withdrew  from  the  presence  of  the   "  pro- 
fessor in  charge."     Upon  the  following  Friday  afternoon  he  waited  in  the 
hallway  while  the  faculty  considered  his  application.     At  the  end  of  an 
hour  the  following  was  passed  out  to  him: 


the  bearer  may  visit 
the  dorm  once. 
Pkkxv. 


It  is  only  by  conforming  to  this  elaborate  red-tape  system  that  any 
one.  not  an  occupant  of  the  home  for  studious  young  men,  can  obtain 


./   SOUVENIR. 

entrance  thereto.  Other  regulations  of  the  faculty  have,  at  various  times, 
been  regarded  as  existing  in  a  Pickwickian  sense,  but  the  rule  in  regard 
to  visiting  the  dorm  has  always  been  rigidly  enforced. 

The  dorm  stands  at  a  considerable  distance  from  any  other  college 
building  — a  wise  provision.  It  may  be  approached  with  safety  at  any 
time  during  the  summer  vacation  ;  at  other  times  it  would  be  better  to 
provide  a  rubber  coat  or  an  umbrella.  The  building  is  four  stories  high, 
and  contains  about  thirty  suites  of  rooms.     The  architecture  of  the  build- 


i:ig  is  of  a  hybrid  nature,  a  mixture  of  the  adobe  and  Egyptian  schools. 
A  view  of  the  exterior  affords  no  intimation  of  the  elegant  interior  fur- 
nishings. This  is  why  the  people  who  never  received  a  faculty  permit 
to  go  through  the  building,  are  inclined  to  regard  the  dorm  as  an  insig- 


./   SOUVENIR. 


nificant  feature  of  the   University.     To  appreciate  the  dorm,  you  must 
inspect  it  thoroughly. 

Any  one  desiring  to  visit  an  inmate  rings  at  the  front  door  and  sends 
up  his  card.      He  will  usually  he  admitted,  if  he  has  a  permit,  unless  he 


calls  during  study  hours.  Entering  the  front  door,  you  find  yourself  in  a 
large  corridor,  plainly  but  elegantly  furnished.  From  this  corridor  doors 
open  to  the  various  suites.     Chandeliers  are    pendent  from  the  frescoed 


ceiling.  All  the  frescoing  was  done  by  the  students.  A  broad  stairway 
leads  to  the  second  landing.  There  is  a  continuous  stair  railing  from  the 
first  floor  to  the  fourth.     The  stairways  and  landings  are  so  constructed 


./   SOUVENIR. 

that  a  person  leaning  over  the  railing  on  the  fourth  floor  can  accurately 
locate  a  person  on  any  of  the  lower  floors.  This  peculiarity  of  construc- 
tion has  given  rise  to  the   practice  of  "  hugging  the  wall." 

The  uninitiated  man  gaily  goes  up  the  stairway  three  steps  at  a  time 
and  makes  a  sharp  turn  around  the  railing.  As  he  does  so,  he  places 
himself  in  range.  If  any  one  above  is  "laying"  for  a  personal  enemy, 
he  may  find  the  temptation  too  great,  and  take  out  his  revenge  on  the 
new  man.      Resides,  he  can  get  more  water,  if  he  needs  it. 


STAINED    CLASS    WINDOW. 


To  describe  in  detail  every  apartment  of  the  large  building  would  not 
be  advisable,  if  it  were  possible.  Let  us  take  a  typical  suite  of  rooms,  one 
by  which  all  may  be  judged.  You  are  admitted  by  one  of  the  two  occupants 
and  step  inside.  If  it  is  your  first  visit,  you  are  dazzled.  A  heavy 
Moquette  covers  the  floor,  and  you  appear  to  walk  upon  a  carpet  of  roses. 
A  subdued  light  filters  into  the  room  through  stained  windows  partially 
concealed  by  heavy  curtains.  Upon  the  wall  are  etchings,  water-colors 
and  portraits  of  former  occupants.     The  easy  chairs  and  a  luxurious  divan 


A  SOUVENIR. 

give  an  air  of  comfort  to  the  room,  but  the  hand-carved  bookcase  in  one 
corner,  filled  with  well  thumbed  volumes,  indicates  that  the  occupants  do 
not  vegetate  in  idleness.  Articles  of  brie  a  brae  are  placed  here  and 
there,  in  apparent  carelessness,  but  the  general  effect  is  pleasing.  Step- 
ping from  the  reception  room  into  the  boudoir,  you  find  upon  one  side  the 
student's  couch,  covered  with  its  snowy  spread,  and  upon  the  other  side 
the  mirror  and  dresser  and  the  lavatory.  One  can  not  help  but  exclaim, 
after  inspecting  the  elegant  apartments  :  "  Who  would  not  be  a  student, 
and  dwell  in  the  dorm  ?  " 

The  building  is  divided  into  two  sections,  and  each  side  is  under  the 
supervision  of  a  member  of  the  faculty,  but  the  presence  of  the  professor 
in  charge  is  not  often  demanded.  In  the  early  history  of  the  building 
some  of  the  rooms  were  used  for  recitation  halls,  and  several  professors 
occupied  apartments  on  the  lower  floor.  The  presence  of  the  professors 
was  annoying  to  the  students,  and  the  former  soon  vacated.  The  dorm  is 
a  building  in  which  one  may  spend  a  pleasant  hour,  rambling  through 
the  corridors  and  looking  over  the  autographs  and  inscriptions  on  the 
walls.

EATING  CLUBS. 


POET  whose  name  is  not  recalled,  but 
who  evidently  had  heard  of  the  Purdue 
eating  clubs,  once  remarked  that: 

Against  diseases  here  the  strongest  fence 
Is  the  defensive  virtue,  abstinence. 

He  was  right.  During  the  last  fif- 
teen years  the  Purdue  eating  clubs  have 
never  graduated  one  case  of  gout.  Sev- 
eral young  men  band  themselves 
together  for  the  purpose  of  getting  cheap 
board.  One  of  the  number  is  selected 
as  steward,  and  it  is  his  duty  to  see  that 
the  table  is  properly  supplied.  He 
usually  does  his  work  well.  Can  good  board  be  provided  at  the  very 
nominal  sum  of  two  dollars  per  week?  Certainly.  Examine  the  follow-

THE  ANNUALS. 


AND  now  in  behalf  of  the society  allow  me  to  welcome  you  to  this, 
our th  annual  entertainment.      In  doing  so,  I  believe  I  speak 

"  for  every  member  of  our  society  when  I  say  that  we  are  always 
glad  to  see  our  friends,  not  only  at  our  annual  entertainments,  but  also  at 
our  regular  meetings.      As   a  society,    we  feel  that  the   present  year  has 

been  one  of  great  interest   and  profit  to  all  of  us.      Emerson  says:       " 

!"      How  true  this  is,    as  applied  to  our 

literary  work!  Here,  by  our  training  in  debate  and  parliamentary  law  we 
are  fitting  ourselves  for  the  great  struggle  of  life.  We  are  laying  the 
foundation   for  the    future.      As  the  poet  very  aptly  says: 


The  first  on  the  programme  is  Mr. ,  oration,  "The  Future 

Destiny  of ." 

The  applause  is  deafening  and  the  reporter  on  the  front  row  jots 
down,  "a  scholarly  production  well  delivered."  Then,  as  the  hand- 
clapping  dwindles  down  to  a  few  particular  friends  of  the  president,  and 
finally  dies  out,  the  orator  clears  his  throat,  advances  his  left  foot  and 
requests  us  to  go  back  with  him  a  few  thousand  years  so  that  we  may 
gradually  work  up  to  the  subject.  The  spell-binder  takes  the  audience, 
collectively  and  figuratively,  by  the  hand,  and  leads  it  around  through  the 
moss-grown  rums  of  antiquity,  ever  and  anon  explaining  why  certain 
once  powerful  nations  have  ceased  to  transact  business  at  the  old  stand. 
This  being  done,  he  exposes  the  Present,  and  proceeds  to  examine  its  pulse, 
respiration  and  temperature,  and  makes  a  diagnosis  of  the  Disease.  Then 
he  prescribes  the  Remedy  —  Education  of  the  Masses.  Then  he  pauses  for 
a  moment,  lifts  his  right  hand  ami  tears  in  twain  the  veil  that  hides  the 
Future.  By  the  aid  of  his  "  prophetic  vision  "  he  tells  us  how  the  people 
a  few  centuries  hence  will  be  free  and  happy  and  smart,  and  there  will  be- 
no  more  strikes,  riots,  elections,  courts  or  jails. 

The  orchestra  in  the  gallery  brings  the  audience  back  to  the  rude 
present  by  rendering  some  appropriate  comic  opera  music,  and  the  de- 
claimer  steps  forward  in  the  capacity  of  thriller.  He  has  rehearsed  over 
and  over  every  intonation  and  gesture,    and   he  is  fortunate  if  the  hearers 


./   SOUVENIR. 

do  not  perceive  this.  The  repertoire  of  the  annual  declaimer  includes 
■•The   Raven,"   "Horatius   at  the  Bridge, Hie   Polish   Boy,"   The 

Black  How  and  Hi.  Rider."  "The  Baron's  Last  Banquet"  and  several 
humorous  selections.  Sometimes  he  is  not  up  in  his  delivery,  but,  as  a 
rule  the  declamation  is  well  written.  The  annual  essayist  is  handicapped 
in  the  contest  for  honors;  he  has  no  chance  to  work  in  dramatic  effects,

THEY  may  talk  of  love  in  a  cottage, 
And  bowers  of  trellised  vine, 

And  nature  bewitchingly  simple, 
And  milkmaid  half  divine; 
They  may  talk  of  the  pleasures  of  sleeping 

In  tbe  shade  of  a  spreading  tree, 
And  a  walk  in  the  fields  at  morning, 

By  the  side  of  a  footstep  free. 
But  give  me  a  sly  flirtation 

By  the  light  of  a  chandelier, 
At  the  Hoarding  Hall  of  the  college, 

And  no  third  person  near; 
Or  a  seat  on  that  silken  sofa— 

Great  heavens  !  who  could  decline? 
When  there's  nobody  there  to  discover 

That  small  white  hand  in  mine.

THE  COLLEGE  WIDOW. 


HEN  I  was  but  a  Freshman  —  and  that 
was  long  ago  — 
I  saw    her    first,  but   did  not  learn  her 
name; 
She  was  at   a  lecture,    I    believe,  in  the 
first  or  second  row, 
And  the  Junior  with  her  seemed  to  be 
her  flame. 
He  held  her  fan  all  evening  and  gazed 
into  her  eyes; 
Thought  I,  "Now,  they're  engaged,  or 
soon  will  be;" 
But  afterward  the}-  quarreled,  as  I  learned 
with  some  surprise, 
When    the  faculty    conferred  on    him 
G.  B. 


Thatjvery  spring  a  rumor  in  the  college 
circles  spread, 
That  a  Senior  had  her  young  affections  snared, 
And  after  he   had  graduated,  then  the  two  would  wed; 

'Twas  even  said  her  trousseau  was  prepared. 
But  this  was  surely  a  canard;  when  I  returned  next  fall. 

She  had  a  young  professor  on  the  string; 
He  used  to  send  her  flowers,  and  frequently  would  call, 
And  kindly  turn  her  music  when  she'd  sing. 


A  SOUVENIR. 

The  prof  received  an  offer  from  some  college  in  the  east, 

And  left  quite  unexpectedly  one  day; 
Within  a  week  the  charmer  wasn't  grieving  in  the  least, 

When  1  saw  her  with  a  Freshman  at  the  play. 
She  had  a  gay  flirtation  with  a  special,  taking  art; 

I  went  with  him  to  call,  one  Sunday  night; 
He  kindly  introduced  me,  then  I  played  a  villain's  part, 

For  I  made  a  mash,  and  knocked  him  out  of  sight. 


O,  charming  college  widow,  I  never  can  forget 

The  night  when  you  put  on  my  college  pin; 
I  pressed  your  hand  and  told  you  that  the  act  you'd  not  regret, 

And  you  said  you'd  stick  to  us  through  thick  and  thin. 
I  remember  still  the  picnics  and  that  moonlight  promenade, 

Just  the  night  before  I  paid  for  my  degree, 
When  we  interchanged  such  sacred  vows,  and  declarations  made 

That  we'd  love  each  other  through  eternity. 


I  heard  from  you  quite  often;  I  liked  your  letters,  too; 

They  were  spicy,  and  chuck  full  of  college  news; 
But  the  interval  between  them  soon  became  a  month  or  two, 

And  our  courtship  seemed  its  interest  to  lose; 
I  didn't  write  for  full  three  months,  and  one  day  I  received, 

By  express,  collect,  each  love-sick  billet  doux, 
And  though  I  swore  that  I  had  been  both  jilted  and  deceived, 

I  returned  your  letters,  paid  the  charges  too  ! 


Last  commencement  I  revisited  the  scenes  of  college  life; 

Six  years  had  brought  about  a  wondrous  change. 
I  knew  a  few  professors  who  were  glad  to  meet  my  wife, 

But  the  students  all  seemed  out  of  place  and  strange. 
There  was  little  to  recall  to  me  the  olden  time  so  sweet, 

And  so  it  was  a  pleasure,  you  may  know, 
At  the  field-day  exercises,  unexpectedly  to  meet 

An  acquaintance  of  the  happy  long  ago. 


A  SOUVENIR. 

She  looked  but  little  older,  her  laugh  wasjust  as  gay; 

Beside  her  was  a  gallant  Sophomore, 
Who  held  her  parasol  aloft  and  gushed  the  self-same  way 

That  I  had  doubtless  done  in  days  of  yore. 
I  merely  tipped  my  hat;  I  feared  to  introduce  my  wife, 

For  I  knew  that  some  remark  might  lightly  fall, 
Revealing  to  my  better  half  a  chapter  of  my  life, 

Which  I'd  rather  she  should  not  suspect  at  all. 


THE  MAIDEN'S  PRAYER. 

"  He  is  brave  and  young  and  handsome; 

Spare  his  life,  for  it  would  seem 
We  will  need  him  on  the  rush  line, 

When  we  play  the  Butler  team.'' 


"THE  LA  GRIPPE.'' 


AM    not    hypercritical    on    points    of 
punctuation  ; 
A  misplaced  comma  now  and  then 
is  surely  not  a  sin  ; 
I  overlook  the  sundry  breaks  of  com  • 
nion  conversation, 
And    only    wince   a    little    when    a 
' '  have  saw  ' '  edges  in  ; 
To   wretched    double    negatives  some 
friends  are  much  addicted, 
They  knife  the  good   King's  Kng- 
lish,  and  revel  in  its  gore  ; 
These   queer   idiosyncrasies   are  never 
contradicted. 
For  I  would  not  seem    pedantic  or 
appear  a  learned  bore. 


But, 


The  whiskered  proverbs  tell  us — and  I  know  they  tell  us  truly — 
That  forbearance  as  a  virtue  cannot  always  be  construed; 

And  the  camel's  dorsal  vertebrae,  if  weighted  down  unduly, 

Will  sustain  a  compound  fracture  with  a  fatal  promptitude. 
And. 

When  a  college  maiden,  intellectual  and  charming, 

Sends  me  a  little  perfumed  note,  regretful  in  its  tone, 


./   SOUVENIR. 

"  To  learn  that  all  your  symptoms  arc  (.-specially  alarming, 

And  the  doctor  fears    that   the   'la  grippe'  has  claimed   you   for 
its  own  "  ; 
Then, 
I  howl  and  curse  a  little,  and  I  stamp  upon  the  letter, 

And  I  hoil  with  indignation  to  think  that  any  one, 
Who  long  has  studied  French,  should  not,  apparently,  know  hetter 

Than  to  write  it   "  the  la  grippe,"  when    but  one    "the"   would 
have  done. 
A  break  like  this  affects  me  in  a  manner  almost  fatal, 
'Tis  worse  than  the  "  la  grippe" 

(The  above  unfinished  poem  was  recently  found  among  the  effects  of 
a  young  man  who  had  committed  suicide,  for  some  unknown  reason. 
This  publication  may  throw  some  light  upon  his  motive.  Perhaps  he 
could  not  find  a  word  to  rhyme  with  "fatal,"  or  perhaps  he  was  shamed 
to  desperation  upon  discovering  that  he  had  committed  the  common  error 
of  calling  it  "  the  la  grippe"  >
